About this product

Introducing an unworn marvel of timeless craftsmanship — the Rolex Perpetual 1908, Ref. 52508-0008. Encased in 39mm of polished 18k Yellow Gold, this refined timepiece represents a new chapter in Rolex’s pursuit of enduring excellence and understated elegance. Named in tribute to the year “Rolex” first graced a dial, the Perpetual 1908 draws from the brand’s earliest self-winding innovations, elegantly reimagined for the modern gentleman. Its Intense White dial radiates classic sophistication, adorned with elongated, applied 18k Yellow Gold hour markers and graceful Arabic numerals at 3, 9, and 12 o’clock. A small second’s subdial at 6 o’clock introduces a subtle sporty touch, marked by numerals at 20, 40, and 60. The watch features a pair of distinctive gold hands — an elegant sword-shaped minute hand paired with a signature ring-tipped hour hand — sweeping across a precisely printed minute track at the dial’s edge. Encasing this artistry is a two-tiered 18k Yellow Gold bezel, with a grooved lower tier and a domed upper section, perfectly matched by a ribbed, screw-down crown bearing the Rolex emblem. A scratch-resistant sapphire crystal seals the front, while the exhibition case back reveals the in-house Rolex caliber 7140 — a mechanical automatic movement with 38 jewels and a power reserve of approximately 66 hours. This distinguished model comes fitted on a custom-crafted 18k Yellow Gold Settimo bracelet, composed of elegant seven-piece links and secured by a concealed folding Crownclasp. With water resistance up to 50 meters (165 feet), the Rolex Perpetual 1908 is not just a nod to heritage — it’s a contemporary icon of horological excellence.
