PPM Factory Rolex Yacht-Master 226658-0001 42mm Yellow Gold Ceramic Bezel Oysterflex Black Dia

PPM Factory Rolex Yacht-Master 42 226658 Yellow Gold Weighted Edition – 158g

The PPM Factory Rolex Yacht-Master 42 Ref. 226658 Yellow Gold Weighted Edition combines the 42mm Yacht-Master case design with a weighted stainless steel construction, yellow-gold surface finishing, and a 27-jewel integrated 3235-style automatic movement.

With a stated total weight of approximately 158 grams, this configuration pairs a yellow-gold-colored case with a dark ceramic bezel and a reinforced rubber strap.

The watch incorporates a case thickness of 11.8mm, sapphire crystal, enamel-style dial, and a stated movement power reserve exceeding 70 hours.

42mm Case Geometry and Weighted Construction

The PPM Yacht-Master 226658 features a 42mm case manufactured from 904L stainless steel using three-dimensional NURBS modeling and CNC machining.

Its case profile includes curved lugs and polished surfaces that establish the characteristic Yacht-Master silhouette.

The weighted construction adds mass to the watch head, providing a more substantial feel when worn with the rubber strap.

At a stated thickness of 11.8mm, the case maintains a relatively slim profile in relation to its 42mm diameter.

The relationship between case diameter, thickness, and weight is especially relevant to the 226658 configuration because the flexible rubber strap does not distribute mass in the same way as a full metal bracelet.

Yellow-Gold Surface Finishing

The case incorporates an 18K yellow-gold surface treatment over its 904L stainless steel structure.

The yellow-gold-colored exterior provides the warm metallic appearance associated with the Yacht-Master 226658 design.

The polished case surfaces contrast with the dark ceramic bezel, creating a clear separation between the metallic case and the surrounding black components.

The gold-colored finish is a defining feature of this configuration, particularly across the case sides, lugs, and crown area.

Its steel-based construction distinguishes this version from a solid yellow-gold case.

27-Jewel Integrated 3235-Style Automatic Movement

The PPM Yacht-Master 226658 is equipped with a 27-jewel integrated 3235-style automatic movement.

The movement provides automatic winding, central hours, minutes and seconds, and a mechanical date display.

Its stated power reserve exceeds 70 hours.

The integrated movement construction follows the general mechanical architecture associated with the 3235 generation, including the arrangement of its bridges and automatic winding system.

This configuration combines the movement’s automatic operation with the familiar three-hand-and-date layout of the Yacht-Master collection.

Enamel-Style Dial and Sapphire Crystal

The dial features an enamel-style surface finish that creates a smooth background for the applied hour markers and shaped hands.

The luminous sections within the hands and markers support time reading in reduced lighting conditions.

A sapphire crystal covers the dial, providing a transparent protective surface.

The combination of the dark dial, bright hour markers, and yellow-gold-colored case creates a distinct contrast that contributes to the 226658’s overall appearance.

Dark Ceramic Bezel

The Yacht-Master 226658 incorporates a dark ceramic bezel with raised markings.

The bezel’s darker finish contrasts with the surrounding yellow-gold-colored case, emphasizing the circular bezel structure against the curved case profile.

The relationship between the raised markings and ceramic surface creates depth, particularly when viewed from different angles.

This combination of gold-colored metal and dark ceramic is one of the model’s most recognizable exterior characteristics.

Reinforced Rubber Strap

The rubber strap includes an internal metal support structure that helps preserve its shape.

Its flexible exterior follows the wrist while the reinforcement contributes to the strap’s structural stability.

The dark strap visually connects with the ceramic bezel, balancing the brighter yellow-gold-colored case.

Because the strap is lighter and more flexible than a metal bracelet, the watch’s mass remains more concentrated around the case.

Wearing Characteristics and Daily Care

The weighted 42mm case gives the watch a substantial wrist presence, while the reinforced rubber strap maintains flexibility.

The contrast between the yellow-gold-colored case, dark ceramic bezel, and rubber strap creates a combination of metallic and sport-oriented design elements.

For routine care, gently clean the watch with a soft cloth. Avoid abrasive polishing products, strong chemicals, and unnecessary contact with hard surfaces.

Careful handling is particularly important for preserving the appearance of surface-finished metal components.
