Crafted entirely in 18kt yellow gold, the 39mm case of the Rolex 1908 ref. 52508-0007 features a domed and fluted bezel, a domed winding crown, and a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal. The domed transparent case back is fitted with an anti-reflective coating, offering a clear view into the movement within, while water resistance extends to 50 metres / 165 feet.
The intense black dial is kept elegantly minimal, with centre hour and minute hands accompanied by a small seconds hand positioned at 6 o'clock. Stop-seconds functionality allows for precise time setting. Power comes from the Rolex Calibre 7140, a perpetual mechanical self-winding movement featuring a Syloxi silicon hairspring with patented geometry, high-performance Paraflex shock absorbers, and bidirectional winding via a Perpetual rotor. The movement delivers a precision rating of -2/+2 seconds per day after casing and offers approximately 66 hours of power reserve, certified as a Superlative Chronometer following both COSC and Rolex certification after casing.
The watch is worn on the Settimo bracelet, constructed from seven-piece solid links in 18kt yellow gold and secured by a concealed folding Crownclasp, lending a refined and cohesive presence to this dressed-up timepiece.
