The term refers to a Rolex Sky-Dweller watch that has been heavily customized with aftermarket diamonds and other precious stones. This process, also known as “icing out,” involves setting diamonds into the watch’s case, bracelet, and sometimes even the dial. As an example, a stainless steel Sky-Dweller, which typically presents a more subdued aesthetic, can be transformed into a highly opulent piece through the addition of numerous meticulously placed diamonds.
This modification dramatically alters the watch’s value and appearance, transforming it from a high-end, luxury timepiece into a statement of extravagant personal style. The practice carries implications regarding the watch’s collectibility and the potential impact on its long-term value. Its popularity reflects a broader trend of personalizing luxury goods and showcasing individual wealth and status.
