About the Perpetual 1908

The Rolex Perpetual 1908 honors Rolex’s founding year, blending the brand’s earliest design elements with modern watchmaking technology. Featuring a 39mm case in 18k gold, the watch model houses the caliber 7140 movement, crafted with discerning attention to detail. This design highlights the timeless grace and classic style that initially defined and cemented Rolex's reputation, with the dial adorned with Roman numerals and slender hands. Available today in various configurations, including versions with a date function and different dial colors, the modern version of this model also incorporates Rolex's novel Chronergy escapement, which greatly increases the unit’s power reserve and improves the overall energy efficiency of its movements. The Perpetual 1908l is a historian’s dream, a beautiful mix of Rolex’s humble yet classy origins, and forward-thinking functionality. It’s the type of beautiful artifact that could be encased in glass in a museum but will be right at home sitting on your wrist.
