Catching a glimpse of serious horology through a car window is always a treat, and this sighting of YouTuber Gonth does not disappoint. Behind the wheel of what appears to be a Lamborghini sports car, Gonth rests his wrist on the steering wheel revealing a fully yellow gold Rolex Sky-Dweller — one of the most expensive and technically demanding references in the Rolex lineup. The champagne dial and matching bracelet confirm this is an all-yellow-gold execution, not a two-tone or Rolesor variant.

The Rolex Sky-Dweller in 18ct yellow gold, reference 326938, is powered by the Calibre 9001 — a movement Rolex developed entirely in-house and patented with over a dozen individual innovations. It features an annual calendar that distinguishes between 30- and 31-day months automatically, a dual time zone display with a 24-hour indicator ring around the dial, and the proprietary Ring Command bezel system that allows function selection via bezel rotation rather than crown positions. The fluted bezel visible in the image is executed in 18ct gold and is both functional and immediately recognisable. Case diameter sits at 42mm, giving it a commanding presence on the wrist.

Launched at Baselworld 2012, the Sky-Dweller was Rolex's first entirely new complication in decades and signalled a new direction for the brand in haute horlogerie. Among collectors, it occupies an interesting space — respected for its genuine mechanical complexity but sometimes overlooked in favour of sportier references. The full yellow gold variant, however, carries undeniable weight in the market: it is a statement piece that sits at the top of the standard Rolex catalogue price tier.

Gonth, a British YouTuber with a following built around FIFA content, pranks, and aspirational lifestyle vlogs, has consistently featured luxury goods across his channels. Pairing a six-figure watch with a supercar is consistent with the aesthetic he projects to his audience, and the Sky-Dweller's balance of technical credibility and visual drama makes it a logical choice.

At UK list price of approximately £30,000 (roughly $38,500 USD at time of listing), the yellow gold Sky-Dweller trades on the grey market at a meaningful premium. Demand for full gold Rolex references remains strong, and this reference consistently commands above retail, making it both a wearable luxury and a sound store of value.
