The Rolex Perpetual 1908 is equipped with Arabic numerals 3, 9, and 12. The small seconds counter at 6 O’Clock. Its style revisits the 1931 Oyster Perpetual and it endows itself with modernity. The dial is a model of elegance and sophistication. It has hour markers and numerals in 18-carat gold against dials which are either black or white in intense colors.
The case is protected by a sapphire crystal in the form of a dome. It also has a minute track in a delicate rail manner around the circumference. The Perpetual 1908 is equipped with distinctive hands pointing at the hours and minutes. Minute one is shaped like a double-edged sword and the hour one has a pierced circle at the end.
The watch has a transparent case revealing exciting things
Rolex has a transparent back case on the Perpetual 1908. Its Calibre 7140 has a cut-out oscillating weight in 18-carat yellow gold having three arms, which are engraved with the word ‘Chronometer Perpetual.’ They benefit from a well-optimized ball bearing.
The movement used in the watch has remarkable finishes. The exclusive Rolex Cotes de Geneve is a celebrated traditional watch decoration. It consists of a polished groove present between each band.

The Rolex Calibre 7140 – a combination of elegance and performance
As a further development on the Perpetual 1908, Rolex developed the Calibre 7140. This new luxurious Rolex watch comes with a completely self-winding movement allowing time to be displayed via two central hands. It has a small second hand at the 6 O’Clock point.
Rolex filed five patents for this movement. It has been developed and manufactured completely, in-house, at Rolex’s plants. The cutting-edge design incorporates some major innovations that guarantee top-notch performance.
