Rolex Sky-Dweller 326934 Blue Dial

About This Watch

The Rolex Sky-Dweller 326934 in Oystersteel with blue dial was a game-changing release when it arrived in 2017, making Rolex's most complicated wristwatch accessible in steel for the first time. Previously available only in full precious metal, the steel Sky-Dweller opened the model to a broader audience while maintaining the white gold fluted Command bezel that mechanically interfaces with the caliber 9001 movement. The blue sunburst dial provides an elegant canvas for the watch's dual time zone and annual calendar indications. The annual calendar cleverly uses twelve small apertures around the dial's circumference, one for each month, with the current month highlighted. The second time zone is displayed via a rotating 24-hour disc. At retail, the steel Sky-Dweller represents remarkable value: a complicated Rolex with precious metal bezel for under $18,000. However, its extreme popularity and limited production mean secondary market prices significantly exceed retail, with the blue dial variant being the most sought-after. The 42mm case provides enough real estate for the dual complications without feeling cluttered, and the Oyster bracelet ensures all-day comfort for frequent travelers.
