About the Rolex Sky-Dweller
The Rolex Sky-Dweller is Rolex’s most complicated timepiece. One field where Rolex wasn’t traditionally active (after the 1950s) was the complicated calendar watch segment. The company had launched some references with interesting functions, but typically to complete specific tasks for particular audiences. Think GMTs for pilots, chronographs for racers, dive watches for divers, and field watches for explorers. However, the introduction of the Sky-Dweller in 2012 changed that dramatically.
Complications
The Sky-Dweller is the first complicated Rolex watch featuring two time zones, a date indicator, a month indicator, and an annual calendar. Not only does the Sky-Dweller offer all of these functions but it also controls the different regulations of its movement through an innovative (and patented) mechanism that uses the crown and the rotation of its fluted dial in three different positions. This concept, called “Ring Command,” had already been used to regulate the functions of the Yacht-Master II, launched in 2007.
Movement
Powering current production Sky-Dweller watches is the COSC-certified Rolex Caliber 9002 movement, guaranteed to achieve a “Superlative Chronometer” performance of +/-2 seconds per day. Caliber 9002 replaced Caliber 9001 in 2023. Both these movements are equipped with several Rolex anti-magnetic features such as Parachrom blue hairsprings and escapement wheels made from paramagnetic materials. They also supply a three-day (72 hours) power reserve.
Meaning of “Annual Calendar”
As its name suggests, the annual calendar of the Sky-Dweller needs to be adjusted just once per year, on March 1st. Other than that, the Sky-Dweller will automatically adjust to indicate the correct date (window at 3 o’clock) and month (12 apertures adjacent to the hour markers) on all other days of the year (as long as the watch continues to run). Moreover, there’s an off-centered 24-hour disk to indicate a second time zone.
Back to Basics: What is an Annual Calendar Watch?
Case
The watch features a large 42mm Oyster case, water-resistant up to 100 meters. It is available in various case metals (stainless steel, two-tone, Everose gold, yellow gold, and white gold), different dial colors, and depending on the case material, can be paired with either an Oyster, Jubilee, or Oysterflex bracelet.
How Much Does a Rolesor Rolex Sky-Dweller Cost?
When Rolex debuted the Sky-Dweller in 2012, the watches were exclusively available in full gold cases. However, in 2017, Rolex expanded the collection to include two Rolesor models. Rolesor is the name Rolex uses to describe its watches that pair stainless steel and gold.
White Rolesor watches are predominately made in stainless steel but feature a white gold bezel. Yellow Rolesor models on the other hand are two-tone watches, combining yellow and stainless steel throughout the watch.
Steel and white gold and two-tone Sky-Dweller watches are both offered with the choice of an Oyster bracelet or a Jubilee bracelet. The manufacturer’s suggested retail price (MSRP) is slightly more expensive for the Jubilee variant.
Furthermore, these Rolesor Sky-Dweller watches are available in a range of dial colors, each of which has the same retail price which generally varies on the secondary market. For instance, blue dial variant of the the steel and white gold Sky-Dweller ref. 326934 was always a highly popular model, therefore, can cost a lot more when purchased from a grey dealer. In 2023, Rolex released a new Mint Green dial color for the steel and white gold Sky-Dweller ref. 336934.

How Much Does a Gold Sky-Dweller Cost?
The current Sky-Dweller collection is home to yellow gold, Everose gold (Rolex’s proprietary rose gold alloy), and white gold variants. The prices of the Everose gold and white gold Rolex Sky-Dwellers are higher than the yellow gold variants.
Additionally, yellow gold and Everose gold Sky-Dwellers are available with either a matching gold Oyster bracelets or a sporty black rubber Oysterflex bracelets. Naturally, Oysterflex bracelet variants retail less than those with Oyster bracelets since they have less gold. It’s important to note that Rolex currently only makes the white gold Sky-Dweller with a black rubber Oystflex bracelet.
Yellow gold Sky-Dweller watches are furnished with champagne, white, or black dials while Everose gold Sky-Dwellers come with the choice of white, chocolate, or slate dials. In 2023, Rolex unveiled a new blue-green dial color for the Everose gold version. While dial color does not have an impact on retail prices it does influence market value.

How Much Does an Older Rolex Sky-Dweller Cost?
Although the Sky-Dweller has only been a part of the Rolex catalog for a decade, the brand has refined the lineup several times. For example, Rolex used to make yellow gold, white gold, and Everose gold Sky-Dwellers with leather straps. However, these were discontinued in favor of the rubber Oysterflex bracelets. Furthermore, Rolex discontinued the white gold Sky-Dweller (probably since it looks very similar to the much less expensive steel Sky-Dweller) for a few years only to bring it back again in 2023.
It’s also worth noting that there are older Sky-Dweller dials with Arabic numerals and Roman numerals. These are no longer an option to buy from authorized dealers because Rolex has phased them out and now only uses baton indexes (filled with lume) across all current Sky-Dweller models.
