Rolex is presenting a new version of the Perpetual 1908 decked in 950 platinum and graced with an ice blue dial featuring a guilloché rice-grain motif.
This rosette-like design is distinctive for its three-dimensional, repeating geometric pattern.
With the introduction of a dial created via guillochage, or engine turning – a technique that uses a turning tool to sculpt a pattern into a surface – Rolex is pursuing the course it has set for the Perpetual collection as a tribute to the classic art of watchmaking infused with the brand’s know-how and creativity. The watch presented is mounted on a brown alligator leather strap fitted with a Dualclasp, a double folding clasp.
The 1908 is equipped with caliber 7140, a movement at the forefront of watchmaking technology that features bridges decorated with Rolex Côtes de Genève and a cut-out oscillating weight. Caliber 7140 enables the 1908 to display the small seconds, as well as the hours and minutes.
