Rolex Yacht-Master 42

How it wears

Wears true to its 42 mm case size

Rolex Yacht-Master 42 measures 50 mm lug-to-lug on a 42 mm case, a lug-to-lug ratio of 1.19 against a database median of 1.18. That span is longer than 83% of the 8,010 watches in this database and longer than 76% of the 50 Rolex watches listed.

A flat wrist width of 56 mm (2.20 in) or more keeps it in the balanced range, and from 67 mm (2.64 in) it starts to look compact. Below 50 mm (1.97 in) the lugs are likely to overhang the wrist. Flat wrist width is measured straight across the top of the wrist, not around it.
