It is widely acknowledged that a Rolex watch makes a sound investment, probably the soundest in the luxury goods world. Take ownership of just about any model in the brand\u2019s comprehensive range and you can be reasonably assured that it will (at worst) hold its value and in most cases, even appreciate over the years. Of course, as with anything, some pieces will perform better than others and the trick for those looking to hedge their bets is being able to spot the ones destined for future greatness before the rest of the industry catches on to them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now, there is no exact science to spotting the future classics. It is virtually impossible to predict where the golden eggs are buried – otherwise, we would have all bought up armfuls of exotic dial ‘Paul Newman’ Daytona watches in the 1960s and be living the high life today. However. some of the current production models stand out so much that they have the ‘uniqueness’ factor to become future classics, and the Rolex Yacht-Master II 116689<\/a> might just be one of those watches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
