One of the most complicated watches ever to appear in their catalog, the Rolex Sky-Dweller is also the brand’s newest model. As a result of its relatively short history, many aren’t as familiar with the Sky-Dweller as other Rolex classics like the Submariner, Daytona, or Datejust. If you’ve ever wondered what is the Rolex Sky-Dweller, then read on to find out.
Rolex Sky-Dweller History & Design
It is not often that Rolex introduces entirely new models; most of the company’s catalog is comprised of watches that have been around since the mid-20th Century. However in 2012, Rolex unveiled a completely new watch model in the form of the Sky-Dweller.

Rolex Sky-Dweller History & Design

The Sky-Dweller sports a 42mm Oyster case (water-resistant to 100 meters) topped with a fluted bezel and sapphire crystal. The earliest iterations of the Rolex Sky-Dweller were exclusively offered in solid 18k gold – yellow, white, or Everose gold. In 2017, Rolex added a two-tone stainless steel and yellow gold (Yellow Rolesor) Sky-Dweller and a stainless steel with white gold fluted bezel (White Rolesor) model into the mix. Every Sky-Dweller version is available with an Oyster bracelet and the three gold editions can also be found with the option of a black or brown alligator leather strap.

At first glance, the Rolex Sky-Dweller looks somewhat like a variation of the Datejust or Day-Date, but in a larger format. However, upon closer inspection of the dial, we quickly see that this Rolex dress watch is far more complicated.
