Rolex released the Sky-Dweller in 2012 as the most complicated model of the modern era. The annual calendar complication is elegantly integrated to the dial, with a month display indication to each hour marker. The timepiece can be precisely set through the fluted bezel, which is rotated to select the desired crown setting. The reference time is indicated by the center subsidiary 24-hour dial while the second time zone is displayed through the hands.
Due to its complicated and prestigious movement, the Sky-Dweller was initially only available in precious metals before Rolex launched its stainless steel variant in 2017. This timepiece, like everything steel at Rolex, triggered massive interest in the collector's market, rendering the watch very difficult to acquire at retailers and leading to endless waiting lists.
The present example is offered on behalf of its original owner. It stands in excellent condition, with little to no signs of wear. It is accompanied by its original documentation and packaging.
