This replica Yacht-Master 116621 features a chocolate brown dial paired with an Everose gold and Oystersteel two-tone case that gives the entire watch a warm, luxurious character. The 116621 reference introduced the Yacht-Master in a Rolesor configuration that avoids the full precious-metal weight of solid gold while still delivering mixed-metal visual impact. At 40mm, this sits at the standard size for the Yacht-Master line, with a bidirectional rotating bezel in Everose gold and a matching center-link Oyster bracelet.

The Everose gold used in the 116621 is a proprietary alloy that resists fading better than standard rose gold. The chocolate dial was designed specifically to complement this warm metal tone.

Design & Finishing

Two-tone Yacht-Master references demand careful finishing because gold and steel surfaces sit directly adjacent to each other on the case, bezel, and bracelet. The polished Everose center links contrast with brushed steel outer links, creating a textural pattern that runs the entire length of the bracelet. The chocolate dial avoids the high contrast of a black or white face, instead creating tonal harmony with the gold elements. The raised numerals on the bezel are sand-blasted and polished, providing legibility from any angle. Compare this against the 226659 full black Yacht-Master for the opposite aesthetic: where the 116621 is warm and golden, the 226659 is monochrome and stealth. Both belong to the Yacht-Master collection but serve completely different wardrobes.

On the Wrist

The two-tone construction adds weight over a full-steel Yacht-Master, which you feel as a more substantial presence on the wrist. The 40mm case wears slightly dressier than a Submariner because of the precious metal content and the slimmer profile enabled by the 100m rather than 300m water resistance rating. This replica Yacht-Master 116621 brings the Everose-and-chocolate combination to the wrist in a 40mm package that balances sport and dress in equal measure.
