Catalogue Essay
The Sky-Dweller’s ingenious design features a local time zone indicator displayed via a 24-hour rotating disc at the center of the main dial, while a discreet window at the edge indicates the current month in red. This harmonious integration of complications is a testament to Rolex’s engineering prowess. Adjustments are effortlessly managed through the innovative Ring Command system, operated via the iconic fluted bezel—a feature that underscores the brand’s commitment to both form and function. The development of this groundbreaking technology led to the filing of 11 patents, solidifying the Sky-Dweller’s place in horological history.

The Sky-Dweller exemplifies the pinnacle of luxury within the collection. The warmth of the yellow gold case and bracelet creates a visually arresting contrast, exuding both sophistication and opulence.
Preserved in excellent condition and accompanied by its full set of original accessories, this timepiece represents a rare opportunity to acquire one of the most advanced and luxurious Rolex models ever created.

The Sky-Dweller Ref. 326938 is more than a watch; it is a statement of technical mastery and refined taste, perfectly suited for the discerning collector who values both innovation and timeless elegance.

Rolex

Swiss | 1905
Founded in 1905 England by Hans Wilsdorf and Alfred Davis as Wilsdorf & Davis, it soon became known as the Rolex Watch Company in 1915, moving its headquarters to Geneva in 1919. Like no other company, the success of the wristwatch can be attributed to many of Rolex's innovations that made them one of the most respected and well-known of all luxury brands. These innovations include their famous "Oyster" case — the world's first water resistant and dustproof watch case, invented in 1926 — and their "Perpetual" — the first reliable self-winding movement for wristwatches launched in 1933. They would form the foundation for Rolex's Datejust and Day-Date, respectively introduced in 1945 and 1956, but also importantly for their sports watches, such as the Explorer, Submariner and GMT-Master launched in the mid-1950s.One of its most famous models is the Cosmograph Daytona. Launched in 1963, these chronographs are without any doubt amongst the most iconic and coveted of all collectible wristwatches. Other key collectible models include their most complicated vintage watches, including references 8171 and 6062 with triple calendar and moon phase, "Jean Claude Killy" triple date chronograph models and the Submariner, including early "big-crown" models and military-issued variants.
