Rolex has its individual and subtle style of making changes to established collections and creating emblematic models that become everlasting and this is just what the brand did when they announced the Oyster Perpetual Sky-Dweller, a striking rose gold timepiece based on a timeless design.
This version in 18 carat rose gold with a 42 mm diameter is a classic watch for world travelers typifying iconic appeal and technological sophistication which are a hallmark of Rolex. Combining a dual time zone display, as intuitive to read as it is simple to use, with a particularly reliable and innovative annual calendar that automatically displays the correct date throughout the year, needing only one adjustment on 1 March every year.
The Sky-Dweller is guaranteed waterproof to a depth of 100 meters (330 feet) and is an epitome of robustness, proportion and grace. The characteristically shaped middle case is crafted from a solid block of 18 carat rose gold, cast by Rolex in its own foundry.
The watch is equipped with caliber 9001, a self-winding mechanical movement with a dual time zone display and annual calendar entirely developed and manufactured by Rolex. Like all Rolex Perpetual movements, the 9001 is a certified Swiss chronometer, a designation reserved for high-precision watches that have successfully passed the Swiss Official Chronometer Testing Institute (COSC) tests
