A new era of classicism Introduced in 2023 to replace the Cellini collection, the Rolex 1908 embodies Rolex's contemporary vision of classic watchmaking. This line marks a strong return of the manufacture to traditional elegance while maintaining the technical standards that characterize the brand. The reference 52508-0008, paired with the Settimo bracelet and the Intense White dial, is one of its most refined expressions. The 39 mm case is made of 18 ct yellow gold. Its lines alternate between polished surfaces and delicate curves, featuring a double signature bezel of the 1908 collection, composed of a fluted part and a domed part. The proportions are particularly harmonious, offering an elegant and discreet presence on the wrist. The Intense White dial stands out with its subtle satin finish and architecture inspired by the classic watches of the manufacture. The applied Arabic numerals at 3, 9, and 12 o'clock are accompanied by faceted yellow gold indices, while the modernized Breguet-style hands enhance the traditional watch aesthetic of the model. The small seconds at 6 o'clock completes the ensemble with balance and precision. The watch is powered by the Rolex manufacture caliber 7140, an automatic movement introduced with the 1908 collection. Equipped with the Chronergy escapement and the patented silicon Syloxi hairspring, it offers a power reserve of approximately 66 hours and meets the requirements of the Superlative Chronometer standard, ensuring exemplary precision and reliability. This version is fitted with the Settimo bracelet in 18 ct yellow gold, composed of seven very fine and fully polished links. Its flexible and articulated construction provides remarkable comfort while adding a particularly elegant and jewel-like dimension to the watch. With its classic aesthetic, state-of-the-art movement, and the unique refinement of the Settimo bracelet, this Rolex 1908 stands out as one of the most accomplished interpretations of contemporary dress watchmaking at Rolex. A rare and particularly desirable piece for the connoisseur of elegant and timeless watches.
