Posted by lifata on September 5th, 2023

It's Rolex's turn to present its new products for the start of 2023. If the crown brand has decided to stop sales of the Cellini and Milgauss models, now unavailable on its website (hello gray market), Rolex has lifted the veil on a dress watch called the Perpetual 1908. On the menu, we find a gold replica watch info equipped with its own manufacture movement (Caliber 7140).

1908: year of creation of Rolex

To immediately answer the question you are asking yourself, yes 1908 refers to the year Rolex best fake watches was created by Hans Wilsdorf. “Heir to the brand’s aesthetic heritage and equipped with unprecedented watchmaking innovations, the elegant Perpetual 1908 sets a new milestone in the manufacture’s quest for excellence. An illustration of Rolex’s watchmaking know-how and certified Superlative Chronometer, it combines classicism with the future,” explains Rolex to present this new model.

To be more down to earth, the Rolex Perpetual 1908 has a very thin case (9.5 mm thick) 39 mm in diameter in 18 carat gold (white or yellow), a white or black dial depending on the version and a bezel as fluted as the crown which is used to wind or set the time.

Water-resistant to 50 meters, it can be equipped with two alligator leather straps of your choice: brown or brown, green lined. The clasp is a Dualclasp with two symmetrical blades.

A neo-vintage design, a Manufacture caliber

What more can I say about this Rolex Perpetual 1908? The design of the dial of the 1908 reinvents the classic – already very modern – spirit of the first Oyster Perpetual from 1931. On its face, Arabic numerals – 3, 9 and 12 – are displayed as well as a small seconds counter at 6 a.m. The faceted 18-carat gold indexes match a set of different style hands: sword for the minutes, with a circle for the hours.

The case back of the 1908 is transparent (sapphire crystal), to make room for its Manufacture caliber 7140 which offers 66 hours of power reserve (frequency of 4 Hz, 38 jewels). Equipped with the Syloxi hairspring, the Chronergy escapement and Paraflex shock absorbers, it guarantees high chronometric performance (–2/+2 seconds per day). The 1908 is certified Superlative Chronometer.

Finally, let us note the work done on the finishing of the movement, in particular thanks to the Côtes de Genève Rolex fake decoration and the openwork oscillating weight in 18-carat yellow gold.
