Rolex Sky-Dweller Gold Watches

Yellow Gold, Everose or White Gold

Rolex makes the Sky-Dweller in three solid golds, and the reference number tells you which one you are looking at. The last digit is the metal: 8 for yellow gold, 5 for Everose and 9 for white gold. The fourth digit is the bracelet: 9 for a gold Oyster or Jubilee bracelet, 2 for the Oysterflex. So a 336938 is yellow gold on a gold bracelet, a 336235 is Everose on Oysterflex and a 336239 is white gold on Oysterflex. The first three digits give the generation: 326 for the models launched in 2012, 336 for the current series introduced in 2023.

Everose is Rolex’s own 18 kt rose gold, cast in its foundry with a little platinum in the alloy so the pink tone does not fade. If rose gold is what you are after, our Rose Gold Sky-Dweller page shows the Everose models on their own, and white gold has its own White Gold Sky-Dweller page.

Gold Sky-Dweller Retail Prices

These are the gold Sky-Dweller models in Rolex’s current US catalogue, with the retail prices listed on rolex.com in November 2026. Within each line the dial changes but the price does not. The Jubilee bracelet adds $1,300 on yellow gold and $1,200 on Everose.

The Oysterflex models are the least expensive way into a solid gold Sky-Dweller: $8,700 below the yellow gold Oyster bracelet model and $10,250 below the Everose one. White gold is currently offered only on the Oysterflex. The white gold bracelet model, the 326939, belongs to the first generation.

336 or 326: The Two Generations

The Sky-Dweller arrived in 2012 as a solid gold watch only; the steel and gold Rolesor versions came later. In 2023 Rolex replaced the calibre 9001 with the calibre 9002, and the references moved from 326 to 336. Both generations measure 42 mm, are waterproof to 100 metres and hold about 72 hours of power reserve. From the outside they look nearly identical, so the reference on the papers, or engraved between the lugs, is the reliable way to tell them apart.

Solid Gold or Rolesor?

A gold Sky-Dweller is easy to confuse with the two-tone models. The yellow Rolesor 336933 pairs Oystersteel with a yellow gold bezel and gold centre links, and retails for $24,050 on the Oyster bracelet or $24,700 on the Jubilee. The white Rolesor 336934, steel with a white gold bezel, starts at $17,750. On a full gold watch the case, bezel and bracelet are all 18 kt gold, and the price is more than double.

Buying a Pre-Owned Gold Sky-Dweller

• Match the reference and serial number on the watch with the papers. The four-digit dial suffix matters for price, so check it as well.
• Look closely at the fluted bezel. Polishing rounds off the flutes, and on solid gold it removes metal that cannot be put back.
• Check the bracelet for stretch: worn links leave gaps and let the bracelet sag at the clasp.
• On an Oysterflex, look for cuts or wear in the elastomer, especially near the clasp.
• Ask about service history and whether the box and papers are included; both affect resale value.
