The essence of Rolex is met by world-renowned luxury in some of the finest quality watches. A Rolex watch gives meaning to being fashionably late by keeping track of time in true style.

In monumental growth of their Oyster collection, Rolex intro-duces the new “Oyster Perpetual Sky-Dweller”, a compelling time-piece in revolutionary design that perfectly coheres technological sophistication and ease of use.

What makes the design of the Oyster Perpetual Sky-Dweller so un-precedented and exquisite is the way its features are made effi-cient to the global traveller, a symbiosis between form and func-tion, aesthetics and technology.

year. It automatically differentiates between 30-day and 31-day months, providing unparalleled robustness and reliability.

Ring Command Bezel

The rotatable Ring Command Bezel allows the wearer to easily adjust the functions of date, local time or reference time. It easily selects these different functions via an innovative and intuitive interface be-tween the movement and case.

Calibre 9001

Backed by seven patents, the Calibre 9001 is an officially certified Swiss chronometer entirely developed and manufactured by Rolex. Consisting of 480 components, it is one of the most complex Calibres the brand has ever developed.

Design Availability

The Rolex Oyster Perpetual Sky-Dweller is available in 18 ct white, yellow or Everose gold cast. It features the fluted bezel that symbol-izes the codes of the brand in a stately 43 mm Oyster case.

The Sky-Dweller demonstrates the continuance of Rolex’s wealth of ingenuity, a watch that is designed and manufactured to perpetuate the Oyster’s legendary excellence.
