Yes.
This was a legitimate option on the PM Skydwellers when the stick dial came out on the Rolesor models.
The dial colour options were limited depending upon the colour of the PM watch.

SearChart provided a detailed summary of the dial options availability straight out of the Rolex catalogue.
The production numbers would indeed be very low.

I'm pretty sure it has been dropped by now though.
Perhaps SearChart could bring further updates on the situation as it currently stands?

Would you buy anything in WG? How about Pt?

Perhaps, if it was an exclusive dial or color that I absolutely had to have, however we are talking about apples to apples here as far as color schemes and overall appearance.

An example would be the smurf sub.....I love that color config on a sub, possibly even enough to pull the trigger, just like your platinum Daytona with the glacier dial (very awesome btw and congrats). However, if they offered the smurf in SS simultaneously with the WG version you bet I would certainly choose the SS.

I actually really like gold, but yellow gold or rose gold, simply because of the inherent color, not really so much because of the fact that it is considered PM.

It was never shown as available on the Rolex website.
But it was reported on the internet by journalists.
And confirmed at the time by rare sightings and SearChart provided the relevant information from Rolex as supplied to him.

Well...I am sure there'll be 10 for Asia and 10 for Europe as well.

I’ve seen this watch in London before... August 2017 in Harrods to be exact !!! I was so excited to see it as at the time hadn’t seen the stainless yet in person and was corrected by the sales associate .

No matter what, stainless or wg, the blue Skydweller is absolutely beautiful.

Have to agree but many think that most Rolex watches today are rare if they have not seen at many ADs and agree its NOT a special addition in any way .

Not quite true. Their site showed it as configurable. I checked the first time I saw it. It's no longer available however. You'll have to trust me on this. Or you could see the link below...

For those who say they'd never pop for a WG or Pt. version if a dial were available in SS:

If you ascribe so little "value" to the metal and are really only willing to buy the Smurf or Platona because of the dial choice, does that make any sense? To pay an extra $20k-$40k because you like the dial better on a PM piece?

Same as regular WG Sky Dweller -- $48850. It seems WG is not available on website anymore.

I'm thinking neither statement '1 of 10' or 'special edition' are factual.

1 of 10 Special Edition Sky Dweller for the US market

I was just wondering these past few days about the blue dial WG Skydweller I saw last year. I wasn’t able to configure it on Rolex’s site but there are other threads about this model being made only in 2017. I remember when I saw it in the case, I thought I had found a SS blue dial , but trying it on, I noticed the weight and the price . There was no mention at the time of it being limited edition.

David SW appears to have one on his site now, but it's on a strap.
