Furthermore, the Sky Dweller was just updated and is available in many variants, so it would be odd to have just a regular extension to the model.

And then there was the patent publication early this year for an evolution on the 9002 movement‘s mechanism that deals with the amplitude challenges encountered by complicated calendar movements when they need to jump a date, and especially when they have to jump over multiple ones in the end of February.

All this leads me to believe that Rolex is teasing us sone kind of perpetual calendar, which honesty would be a sensible evolution for them now that the SkyDweller has become much more democratized than it was initially.

Mightn’t be this year but it’s not far away, pretty confident of that.
great reasoning, I agree
