Introduced as a tribute to the year Rolex trademarked its name, the Perpetual 1908 is a celebration of watchmaking tradition—a pared-back design elevated by meticulous craftsmanship and a whisper of vintage allure. Slim, elegant, and inherently dressy, the 1908 is Rolex’s answer to contemporary classicism, tailor-made for those who revere both heritage and innovation.

Now, in a luminous new chapter, the Perpetual 1908 in 18 ct yellow gold takes on a fresh form of radiance—with a bracelet crafted entirely from the same precious metal. Rarely has solid gold felt this fluid, this weightless, this intimately attuned to the wrist.

Enter the Settimo bracelet—a first-of-its-kind for the 1908 and a marvel in its own right. Composed of seven meticulously engineered links, its architecture is at once technically innovative and visually exquisite. The extremely fine links, polished on every surface, catch and reflect the light in a scintillating dance, creating a near-jewelry-like brilliance that’s impossible to ignore. The bracelet’s softly contoured silhouette molds to the wrist with sublime comfort, while its integrated Crownclasp closure remains discreet yet decisive.

Beyond its striking beauty, the Settimo bracelet evokes a certain romantic nostalgia—calling to mind the jewellery-inspired bands of vintage Rolex icons, yet rendered here with a contemporary sensibility that feels distinctly now.

In this latest iteration, the Perpetual 1908 is not just a watch—it’s a refined statement, one that effortlessly straddles past and present, form and function, artistry and wearability. For the modern connoisseur of elegance, this is Rolex at its most poetic.
