Introduction to Jonathan Clark
Jonathan Clark is a British actor and television personality best known to UK audiences as a cast member of ITVBe's long-running reality series The Only Way Is Essex, commonly known as TOWIE. The show, which follows the social lives of a cast of Essex-based personalities, has been a fixture of British reality television since 2010 and has launched a number of recognisable names into the public eye. Clark's appearances on the series placed him firmly within that circle, giving him a profile that extends well beyond the typical reality television circuit.
When it comes to watches, Clark has shown a clear preference for Rolex, and specifically for the kind of technically serious references that sit well above the brand's entry-level offerings. He was photographed at home with a Rolex Yacht-Master II in 18ct yellow gold on his wrist — almost certainly reference 116688, the full yellow-gold iteration of the 44mm Yacht-Master II that Rolex introduced in 2007. The Yacht-Master II is not a straightforward dress watch or a simple sports reference. It houses a mechanical countdown regatta timer with a programmable 60-minute bezel and a column-wheel mechanism, making it one of the more complication-focused watches in the modern Rolex catalogue.
The Jonathan Clark watch collection, based on what we have documented, currently stands at one confirmed sighting, but it is a telling one. Choosing the yellow-gold Yacht-Master II over the more commonly spotted Submariner or Daytona suggests a deliberate move toward a reference that carries genuine mechanical substance alongside its considerable visual presence. The 116688 retails at a significant price point and is produced in relatively modest numbers compared to Rolex's steel sports models, making it a less expected choice and a more individual one.
Jonathan Clark Spotted Wearing Rolex Yacht-Master II in 18ct Yellow Gold
Inserted 30/11/2022
The Rolex Yacht-Master II ref. 116688 is the only watch in the current Rolex catalogue built around a mechanical regatta countdown movement — the Ring Command bezel physically programs the on-board mechanical memory of the calibre 4161. Crafted entirely in 18ct yellow gold with a striking blue ceramic bezel and white dial, this 44mm regatta timer retails north of £30,000 in the UK. TOWIE personality Jonathan Clark wore the piece while promoting Protein World's Slender Blend, the gold bracelet visible against his casual athleisure look.
