Rolex Sky-Dweller in Gold: Rose, Yellow, Two-Tone and White Compared

|Filip Biczak
Rolex Sky-Dweller 336935 in Everose rose gold

The Rolex Sky-Dweller in gold comes in four main versions: Everose (rose) gold, yellow gold, white gold and the two-tone Rolesor combinations that pair Oystersteel with yellow or white gold. All share the same 42 mm case, the Calibre 9002 movement and the annual calendar; what changes is the metal, the dial and the bracelet. Rose gold reads as the most modern, yellow gold is the classic, and white gold is the quietest. Bizak & Co. sources these on request and does not hold them as stock.

What gold versions of the Sky-Dweller exist?

Rolex makes the Sky-Dweller in 18 ct Everose gold, 18 ct yellow gold, 18 ct white gold, and in Rolesor combinations of Oystersteel with yellow or white gold. The table compares the main families. Dial colors and bracelet pairings vary within each one.

Version Metal Example reference Character
Rose gold 18 ct Everose gold 336935 Warm, pinkish tone; the most modern-looking gold version
Yellow gold 18 ct yellow gold 336938 Traditional gold look; bold on the wrist
White gold 18 ct white gold 336239 Silver tone; the most understated precious-metal option
Rolesor yellow Oystersteel and yellow gold 336933 Gold bezel on a steel case; lighter and less costly than full gold
Oystersteel and white gold Oystersteel with a white gold bezel 336934 Steel look with a precious-metal accent

Is the Sky-Dweller in rose gold worth choosing?

If you want the gold version that looks the most modern, yes. Everose is Rolex's own pink gold alloy. It pairs well with slate, chocolate, blue-green and silver dials, and it reads as warm without being loud. With the Rolex Sky-Dweller in rose gold, the main remaining choice is the bracelet: a metal bracelet (ref. 336935) or the Oysterflex (ref. 336235).

How does yellow gold compare with rose gold?

Yellow gold is the more traditional and more visible of the two, while rose gold is softer and easier to wear with mixed metals. Both are 18 ct, both use the same case and movement, and both cost far more than the Rolesor (Oystersteel and gold) versions. Yellow gold tends to suit champagne, black and white dials; browse the Rolex Sky-Dweller in yellow gold to see the range of dial and bracelet pairings.

What is a two-tone Sky-Dweller?

A two-tone Sky-Dweller is a Rolesor model that combines Oystersteel with gold, usually in the bezel and bracelet center links. Rolesor is Rolex's name for the steel-and-gold pairing. It gives the gold look at a lower cost than a full gold case. Two-tone usually means the yellow Rolesor version (Oystersteel and 18 ct yellow gold); a white Rolesor version with a white gold bezel also exists.

What about white gold?

White gold is for buyers who want precious metal without the color. The all-white-gold reference is 336239, and an Oystersteel and white gold family (such as 336934) offers a steel case with a white gold fluted bezel. Rolex describes the white gold watches as water resistant to 100 m on the references we checked, but confirm this for the exact reference. The look is close to platinum or steel, so it suits dressier dials.

Oysterflex, Jubilee or Oyster: which bracelet?

The Oyster is the sportier three-link bracelet, the Jubilee is the dressier five-link style, and the Oysterflex is a black elastomer strap with a metal blade inside. Rolex has offered the Jubilee on some gold references and the Oysterflex on others, and the lineup has changed over the years. Not every bracelet is made for every metal and dial, so a specific reference decides what you can get. Jubilee suits a classic look, Oysterflex is the lightest and most casual, and the Oyster sits between them.

Bracelet Style Best for
Oyster Three-link, brushed and polished Everyday wear, sporty look
Jubilee Five-link, more flexible Dressy look, comfort on small wrists
Oysterflex Black elastomer with a metal blade Lightest option, casual wear

What stays the same across every version?

Every gold Sky-Dweller shares the same 42 mm Oyster case, about 72 hours of power reserve and the same Saros annual calendar. Current references (the 336 series, from 2023) use the Calibre 9002, and earlier references made from 2012 to 2023 (the 326 series, such as the 326935 and 326938) use the Calibre 9001. Rolex rates the 9002 at roughly 72 hours of power reserve and accuracy of -2/+2 seconds a day after casing. The Saros calendar tells 30-day and 31-day months apart, so you only reset it once a year, on 1 March. A second time zone appears on an off-center 24-hour disc, set with the Ring Command bezel.

How much do the gold versions cost?

Full-gold versions sit well above the Rolesor (Oystersteel and gold) models, which are the entry point to the Sky-Dweller. Rolex makes no all-steel Sky-Dweller. As a loose guide, Rolesor models sit lowest, white gold and yellow gold in the middle, and Everose gold usually at the top of the gold range, though condition, year, bracelet and paperwork move each unit. We do not publish a single price because the market shifts. The Rolex Sky-Dweller collection and the wider Rolex collection show dated examples, and a sourced unit may price differently.

Quick answers

Which Sky-Dweller is rose gold?

Reference 336935 is the Everose gold Sky-Dweller on a metal bracelet: Rolex lists it with a blue-green, chocolate, intense white or slate dial on either the Oyster or the Jubilee bracelet. The Everose version on the Oysterflex has its own reference, 336235, offered with a chocolate, intense white or slate dial. The reference number tells you whether it is on a bracelet or the Oysterflex, and the suffix (for example 336935-0001) identifies the dial and bracelet.

Is a two-tone Sky-Dweller yellow gold?

Usually, yes. The common two-tone model is Oystersteel with yellow gold, sold by Rolex as Rolesor, and a separate steel and white gold family also exists.

Does the metal change the movement?

No. Rose, yellow, white gold and Rolesor versions all use the Calibre 9002 and the same annual calendar. Metal, dial and bracelet are the differences.

Can Bizak & Co. find a specific gold Sky-Dweller?
