Catalogue Essay
Rolex has a longstanding reputation for creating incredibly robust movements that can withstand the rigors of daily life. However, the brand was not traditionally associated with complex movements. That changed in 2012 with the release of the Sky-Dweller collection.
Mechanically acclaimed as Rolex's most intricate model, the Sky-Dweller became the brand's first watch to combine an annual calendar with a GMT complication. A perfect companion for style-conscious travelers, the watch features a local time zone indicator through a 24-hour rotating disc at the center of the main dial, with a small window towards the edge indicating the month in red. Absolutely well thought and well crafted, the watch's adjustments are effortlessly made via the Ring Command system, accessed through the iconic fluted bezel. The development of this technology was the result of extensive research, leading to 11 patents filed.
The present Sky-Dweller ref. 336938 in yellow gold was introduced in 2023 and is equipped with the new cal. 9002, an evolution of the original cal. 9001 introduced in 2012. This updated movement incorporates technical innovations that Rolex has implemented across its line, including the Chronergy escapement, Paraflex shock absorbers, and an optimized oscillating weight with a new ball bearing design. With its striking black dial, this particular watch represents the epitome of luxury within the Sky-Dweller range. We are honored to offer this reference for the first time at Phillips, and it is preserved in excellent condition with its full set of original accessories. This presents a fantastic opportunity to acquire one of the most opulent and sophisticated Rolex timepieces ever created.

Artist Biography
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.
