Before comparing price or appearance, identify the reference: Rolex currently offers versions in yellow gold, white gold and platinum, with differences in dial, strap or bracelet, and clasp. The figures below are US catalog prices listed by Rolex in August 2026; check Rolex’s regional catalog for current pricing and availability.
What the Perpetual 1908 is
Rolex introduced the 1908 collection in 2023. The name refers to 1908, when Hans Wilsdorf devised and registered the Rolex name in Switzerland, according to Rolex’s design page and its newsroom. It is a 39 mm collection whose dress-watch character comes through in its proportions, shaped hands, small-seconds display and polished precious-metal cases.
Rolex’s current 1908 catalog includes yellow-gold, white-gold and platinum configurations. The reference determines the exact combination of metal, dial, strap or bracelet, clasp and price; do not assume a feature shown on one 1908 applies to every model.
References and US catalog price examples
These are US catalog prices listed by Rolex in August 2026 for the listed configurations, not a guarantee of present price, local pricing or stock. Confirm the details on the relevant Rolex regional page before making a purchase decision.
