Rolex Sky-Dweller 326934 White Dial

How do I bid? Start here

Introduction

Released in 2012 as the first new collection in 20 years since the Yacht-Master in 1992, the Sky-Dweller introduced the most complex Rolex movement ever created to the world. Powered by the cal. 9001 movement, the Sky-Dweller features an annual calendar system (called SAROS) requiring only one adjustment a year between February and March, which displays the month by highlighting the corresponding hour marker (8 o’clock is August, 12 is December, and so on) and a GMT function within the ring in the middle of its dial. With an innovative Ring Command System, the Sky-Dweller’s rotating fluted white gold bezel is used to select which of the functions the crown will take control of. Fitted in a 42mm stainless steel case, the ref. 326934 is the most sought-after of the Sky-Dweller variants on the market today, with its steel and white gold construction ensuring it remains as popular and timeless as ever as it blends a wholly functional array of complications with an effortlessly elegant design.

SAROS SYSTEM

Unlike most annual calendar timepieces, the Sky-Dweller's hour-markers indicate the month corresponding with their position on the dial. January will be highlighted by a red box at 1 o'clock, February at 2 o'clock (as pictured here), March at 3 o'clock, and so on.

THE CONSTRUCTION

Featuring one of Rolex's largest cases, the Sky-Dweller is offered as a 42mm watch but with its polished lugs and fluted white gold bezel, it wears rather elegantly.
