The 226659 marks Rolex's 2023 update to the Yacht-Master 42, swapping the white-gold case of the original 226659 release for an in-house 904L steel build (catalogued here under the same reference for the replica spec). It keeps the matte black Cerachrom-style bezel insert with raised polished numerals, the defining visual of the line since the 42mm size launched in 2019.
Black lacquer dial, applied Chromalight-filled hour markers, Mercedes hand set. Bidirectional 60-click bezel for elapsed-time tracking on the water. Oyster bracelet with brushed outer links and polished centres, Oysterlock safety clasp.
Japanese tier runs the Miyota 9015 at 28,800 vph; Swiss tier upgrades to a 3235-clone with 70-hour reserve. 42mm case sits flat under a cuff thanks to the slim 11.2mm profile.
