Rolex 1908 39 mm, 18 ct yellow gold, polished finish Reference 52508

————

This refined replica of the Rolex Perpetual 1908, reference 52508, captures the elegant simplicity and modern craftsmanship of the original model. The watch features a 39 mm case in yellow-gold-tone material with a fully polished finish, paired with a domed and subtly fluted bezel that reflects the understated character of the 1908 line. The dial is presented in an intense white tone, designed to mirror the clean, classic aesthetic of the genuine piece. Its craftsmanship draws inspiration from the miniature artistic techniques and advanced processes such as magnetron sputtering seen in the authentic model, resulting in a dial that appears crisp, balanced, and richly detailed. The watch operates on a perpetual self-winding mechanical movement designed to emulate the smooth performance and updated technology of the original caliber. Completing the case is a yellow-gold-tone screw-down crown adorned with the signature Rolex rose motif, together with a domed sapphire-style crystal that enhances clarity and elegance. Water resistance is constructed to correspond to the original 100-meter specification. The bracelet takes inspiration from the new Settimo design, reproduced here in yellow-gold-tone construction with seven small contoured links that create a lightweight, comfortable, and highly refined feel on the wrist. The bracelet includes a concealed folding clasp modeled after the patented Crownclasp system, preserving the seamless look that defines the 1908’s modern elegance. Crafted with attention to detail and a commitment to aesthetic authenticity, this replica offers the warm glow of yellow gold, meticulous finishing, and a faithful reinterpretation of one of Rolex’s most sophisticated dress watches.
