Rolex Sky-Dweller 18 ct Everose Gold — Slate Dial | Ref. 336935

Reference 336935 brings the Sky-Dweller's sophisticated complication suite to Rolex's signature Everose gold — a proprietary 18 ct rose gold alloy formulated to resist the fading that affects conventional rose gold over time. The slate dial provides a cool-toned contrast to the warm Everose case, a pairing that feels unexpectedly contemporary for a complication watch of this complexity. Launched as a 2024 model, this reference sits at the current apex of Rolex's sport-complication catalogue.

At the heart of the Sky-Dweller is Calibre 9002, a manufacture movement of considerable engineering ambition. It displays hours for a second time zone via an off-centre disc, tracks the annual calendar through the Saros system — which uses the bezel's Ring Command mechanism to set both functions simultaneously — and delivers a 72-hour power reserve. The bidirectional rotatable fluted bezel in Everose gold serves as the primary interface for the Ring Command setting system, engaging the crown with the calendar and time-zone functions depending on its position. The bracelet is the Jubilee in 18 ct Everose gold, water resistance is rated to 100 metres.

The Sky-Dweller remains one of the most technically ambitious watches in Rolex's current lineup, and the Everose gold configuration in slate is among the most restrained and wearable of its variants. It appeals equally to frequent travellers who want a functional GMT/annual-calendar complication and to collectors drawn to Rolex's in-house movement engineering. With full box and papers and 2024 production, this example is ready for immediate wear at the highest level.
