The Rolex Yacht-Master reference 116695SATS is a 40mm luxury sports watch featuring an 18k Everose gold case and a distinctive gem-set bezel. This “SATS” edition is characterized by a bidirectional rotatable bezel adorned with 38 multi-colored sapphires, 8 tsavorites, and a triangular diamond at the 12 o’clock position, creating a vibrant “rainbow” or “candy” aesthetic. The watch is equipped with a black glossy dial featuring large luminescent hour markers and a date aperture with a Cyclops lens at 3 o’clock. It is secured by a black Oysterflex bracelet, which consists of flexible titanium and nickel alloy blades overmolded with high-performance elastomer, and includes an 18k Everose gold Oysterlock safety clasp.

Internally, the timepiece is powered by the Rolex Caliber 3135, a self-winding mechanical movement that is COSC-certified and offers a power reserve of approximately 48 hours. The movement features a paramagnetic blue Parachrom hairspring to enhance resistance to shocks and temperature variations. As a professional nautical instrument, the case utilizes a Triplock triple waterproofness system and a screw-down case back, ensuring water resistance up to 100 meters. The watch combines standard timekeeping with a quick-set date function and hacking seconds for precise synchronization.

General reviews of the 116695SATS emphasize its role as a high-jewelry interpretation of a tool watch, frequently noting the exceptional quality of the factory gem-setting and the comfort of the Oysterflex strap. While the design is often described as polarizing and flamboyant compared to traditional Rolex sports models, collectors value it for its rarity and off-catalog status. Critics typically focus on the limited practicality of a gemstone bezel for actual maritime use and the significant market premium associated with the precious metal and stone configuration. Despite its bold appearance, the watch is praised for maintaining the durability and precision standards expected of the Yacht-Master collection.
