Estimate: € 12,000 –⁠ 24,000

Unveiled in 2012, the Rolex Sky-Dweller represents one of the most mechanically advanced timepieces ever created by the brand, as Rolex’s first watch to feature both an annual calendar and dual-time functionality. The present example, reference 326 135, is an exquisite execution in 18k everose, featuring a commanding 42 mm case that retains its impressive proportions and sharp fluting. The chocolate brown dial is a testament to Rolex’s mastery of both design and functionality. One of the standout features of the Sky-Dweller 326 135 is its dual time zone display, which allows the wearer to simultaneously read local and home time. The off-center 24-hour disc indicates home time, while the conventional center hands display local time. Additionally, the watch boasts an annual calendar complication, known as the Saros system, which automatically differentiates between 30 and 31 day months, requiring manual adjustment only once a year on March 1st. The months are indicated via 12 apertures around the circumference of the dial, with the current month highlighted in a contrasting color. This sophisticated mechanism, powered by the in-house caliber 9001, requires only one manual adjustment per year. Offered in outstanding condition and complete with its original box and papers, this Sky-Dweller is a rare opportunity to own one of Rolex’s most innovative and technically accomplished modern timepieces.
