- This high-flyer watch is an ideal instrument for stylish travelers. It features a local time zone indicator via a 24-hour rotating disc at the center of the main dial, with the indexes showing a small red window that indicates the month. Foolproof in design, it can be easily adjusted using the fluted bezel, which manipulates the crown position. The development of this technology was supported by extensive research and secured with over 11 patents protecting this innovation.
- The present Rolesor Sky-Dweller ref. 326934, with its striking blue dial, is perhaps the most elusive iteration of this model. The luxury embodied in this white gold and steel reference stems not from opulent materials or elaborate ornamentation but from its engineering precision and attention to detail.

Rolex
Swiss | 1905Founded 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.
