The Rolex Perpetual 1908
The Rolex Perpetual 1908 is a masterclass in details, starting with its slender 39mm case, which is crafted in various precious materials, including 18 ct White Gold, yellow gold, and Rolex 1908 Platinum. The design is immediately distinguished by the split bezel—part domed, part finely fluted—and, notably for Rolex, a transparent sapphire case back that offers an unimpeded view of the movement within. The dial, available in intense black, intense white, or the exclusive ice blue guilloché for the platinum version, features a sleek layout with Arabic numerals at 3, 9, and 12, complemented by a small seconds subdial at 6 o'clock.
The Calibre 7140 Movement
At the heart of the timepiece is the Calibre 7140, a completely new, self-winding mechanical movement developed and manufactured entirely by Rolex. This movement is a distillation of the brand's latest technology, incorporating the Chronergy escapement, Syloxi hairspring, and Paraflex shock absorbers to ensure exceptional precision of ±2 seconds per day after casing. The caliber 7140 is a Superlative Chronometer, boasting a power reserve of approximately 66 hours, and is aesthetically finished with the exclusive Rolex Côtes de Genève decoration, fully visible through the sapphire case back.
Rolex 1908 Price
Diamond Source NYC stocks both Rolex 1908 used and new. For those interested in the investment and acquisition of this elegant watch, the Rolex Perpetual 1908 price varies based on the metal and condition. While brand new models may have a published price, the market for pre-owned luxury watches is always a consideration, with a potential Rolex 1908 price used offering a different point of entry. Whether you are seeking a new or used Rolex 1908, this modern classic, named in tribute to the year Hans Wilsdorf officially registered the Rolex brand name, represents a significant and highly desirable piece of horological history.
