Rolex Sky-Dweller 326235 Blue Dial

About This Watch

The Rolex Sky-Dweller 326235 in Everose gold is one of the most complicated watches Rolex has ever produced, combining a dual time zone display with an annual calendar in a single wristwatch. The annual calendar is ingeniously displayed through small windows adjacent to each hour marker, with the current month indicated by a contrasting red rectangle. The second time zone is shown via a rotating off-center 24-hour disc on the dial. The caliber 9001 contains 380 components and features Rolex's Ring Command bezel system, where the fluted bezel rotates to select which function to set. This mechanical interaction between bezel and movement is unique to Rolex and eliminates the need for pushers or additional crown positions. The blue sunburst dial against the warm Everose gold creates a stunning visual combination that has made this particular configuration highly sought after. At 42mm, the Sky-Dweller wears larger than most Rolex models due to its thickness of 14.1mm, but the proportions remain elegant. The full Everose gold case and bracelet give it substantial weight and presence. Introduced in 2012, the Sky-Dweller represented a bold new direction for Rolex, proving the brand could create highly complicated timepieces that maintained their trademark ease of use.
