Launched in the early 1990s, the Rolex Yacht-Master believed by many was a reinterpretation of the coveted Submariner model. However, when stakeholders realized that the iconic Submariner should not be replaced, they introduced a new line by the way of the Yacht-Master. While its depth rating stands at 100 meters, the Yacht-Master targeted a different audience seeking for quality robustness enhanced with a luxurious touch. Primarily launched in precious metals only, Rolex introduced a wide array of sizes, case material and dial configurations following their successful launch in the early 1990s.
