Description
The Sky-Dweller stands as the most complicated watch Rolex has ever produced and the only model in the catalog to feature an annual calendar — a complication uniquely suited to the international traveler, distinguishing automatically between thirty- and thirty-one-day months and requiring correction only once a year. Reference 326959TBR represents the gem-set summit of the previous-generation Sky-Dweller line, executed in 18-karat white gold with a factory baguette-cut diamond bezel and diamond-set lugs, case sides, and bracelet. The dial elevates the configuration further with natural meteorite — sliced from an extraterrestrial iron meteorite — whose Widmanstätten crystalline pattern renders every example unique, placing this reference among the rarest gem-set Rolex creations.
The 42mm case in 18-karat white gold features a bezel set with baguette-cut diamonds, with brilliant-cut diamonds across the case sides and lugs. The meteorite dial carries ten baguette-cut diamond hour markers in white gold settings, an off-center 24-hour disc displaying the second time zone, date at three beneath the Cyclops, and month indication through twelve apertures around the circumference, all governed by the fluted Ring Command bezel. The automatic Caliber 9001 — protected by fourteen patents — delivers a 72-hour power reserve, completed by a fully diamond-set white gold Oyster bracelet.
