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 can be 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.
The present example, preserved in superior condition, has a beautiful and striking combination of the pink gold case, chocolate dial and fitted on a strap. It is accompanied by its original guarantee and presentation case.
