The Sky-Dweller model was introduced by Rolex at Baselworld 2012, available only in precious metal configurations on leather straps or gold Oyster bracelets. At this year's event, Rolex introduced a new batch of Sky-Dweller configurations that includes two-tone stainless steel versions. The 2017 models also feature varied dial colors with baton-style hour markers and improved luminescence.

The white gold and stainless steel configuration (Reference # 326934) is the most affordable Sky-Dweller model, priced at 13,700 Swiss francs. The combination of white Rolesor and blue dials was a trend in the Rolex stand at Baselworld 2017, with Datejust models also featuring the color combo. The off-center disc of the new versions are colored the same as the dial, giving it a more uniform look. The dial is also available in white or black.

The yellow Rolesor Sky-Dweller (Reference # 326933) features a champagne-colored dial, also available in white or black, with a suggested retail price of 16,300 Swiss francs. This configuration combines the classical elements of the Rolex Datejust with functionality like the Saros calendar and 24-hour reference time. It is also still available in white, yellow and Everose gold on either an Oyster bracelet or leather watch strap.

Globalization has made traveling for business a must for many executives and professionals. As the name suggests, the Oyster Perpetual Sky-Dweller is a Rolex for those who spend time in the sky. If you're a frequent flyer, keeping track of time zones on your watch can be frustrating. 

Styled with a classic blue sport coat and black slacks, the Sky-Dweller completes the look with an effortless elegance that is difficult to achieve with any other accessory. Though the 24 hour ring on the dial may not be aesthetically pleasing to everyone, it certainly gives the watch a distinctive look among other luxury wristwatches.

The watch features Rolex's 9001 movement, a self-winding movement developed by Rolex in 2012. This certified Swiss chronometer passed Swiss Official Chronometer Testing Institute (COSC) testing.

The suggested retail price for the Sky-Dweller configuration above (reference # 326139) is 37,700 Swiss Francs, or approximately $39,544 US according to the current exchange rate.
