Rolex 1908: A Tribute to Watchmaking Heritage

The Rolex 1908 is a modern dress watch that blends tradition with modern precision. With a sleek model case, open sapphire case back, and refined detailing, it’s one of the most elegant watches in the Rolex lineup.

Introduced in 2023, the Perpetual 1908 replaced the long-running Cellini line. This was not just a new collection, but a statement of the brand's deep roots in watchmaking prowess.

The 1908 in 18 ct yellow gold or platinum features calibre 7140, an in-house movement with 66-hour power reserve and Rolex Côtes de Genève finishing.

Its name honors Hans Wilsdorf, the founder of Rolex, and reflects the creation of the brand in 1908. The dial is inspired by early Oyster Perpetual models, reinterpreted with cutting edge craftsmanship.

From the surface texture of the guilloché dial to the advanced materials like the Syloxi hairspring, the watch offers a rare balance of aesthetic classicism and technical innovation.

Why the Rolex 1908 Belongs in Your Collection

The Rolex 1908 is one of the most refined dress watches ever created by the brand. Whether in 18 ct yellow gold or platinum, it captures the spirit of timeless elegance.

With a 39mm case and thin 9.5mm profile, it sits comfortably on the wrist. The dial is a standout element, especially on the platinum version with its guilloché dial and radiant surface texture.

Underneath, the calibre 7140 brings precision with a Syloxi hairspring and Chronergy escapement. It is a superlative chronometer, performing at −2/+2 seconds per day, and proudly visible through the sapphire case.

Every detail, from the bracelet and model case, to the movement perpetual and the dial layout, is crafted to reflect the brand's commitment to watchmaking.

It is not just a dress watch. It is a statement piece. A modern expression of the brand's heritage, made for collectors who want more than just status.
