The story behind this Rolex Sky-Dweller
The Geneva-based manufacture unveiled the collection for frequent travellers in 2012. Designed to offer absolute legibility across time zones, the Rolex Sky-Dweller breaks with the usual overload of complicated watches. At the heart of this mechanical revolution is the patented Saros system. Inspired by the millennia-old astronomical cycle governing eclipses, this unusually ingenious annual calendar requires just 4 additional gearwheels to differentiate between 30- and 31-day months. Manual adjustment takes place only once a year, on 1 March. This white gold version under reference 336239 embodies the evolution of this technical feat, integrating the brand's latest advances with absolute nobility. The integration of the crown and bezel creates a mechanical interaction that is unique in the world.
Case, calibre and bracelet of this Sky-Dweller
The sculpted case in 18-carat white gold boasts an imposing diameter of 42 millimetres. Its delicately brushed horns contrast with the polished sides, creating a captivating play of light. The bright black sunray dial features applied gold hour-markers and the emblematic off-centre 24-hour disc display. The fluted white gold bezel is more than just an aesthetic feature; it houses the rotating Ring Command system for selecting the function to be set. The entire timepiece is powered by Calibre 9002, a self-winding mechanical movement with a 72-hour power reserve and beating at a frequency of 4 Hz. Water-resistant to 100 metres, this piece is mounted on a technical Oysterflex bracelet with its metal blades overmoulded with black elastomer and its solid gold Oysterclasp safety clasp.
Why this Rolex watch
Obtaining such a configuration from the official network is a challenge. The combination of solid white gold and the technical Oysterflex bracelet gives this piece a stealthy and profoundly contemporary allure. Watch lovers will particularly appreciate the contrast between the intense black dial and the cool sheen of the precious metal. This timepiece offers a perfect balance between high complication and everyday wearability. The move to a new-generation movement further enhances its appeal on the second-hand market, offering exemplary reliability and precision to enthusiasts of fine mechanics. At The Swiss Collector, this highly sought-after declination is immediately available to add to your personal collection without any waiting.
