Hands-On: Rolex Perpetual 1908 Settimo
The Rolex Perpetual 1908 Settimo is a new addition to the 1908 collection, featuring a yellow-gold dress watch with a unique seven-link bracelet. This bracelet, designed with five slender links framed by two broader ones, enhances the watch's elegant aesthetic and provides a comfortable fit. Powered by the advanced cal. 7140 movement, the watch maintains a slim profile at just 9.5 mm thick, blending Rolex's renowned precision with sophistication. The lacquered dial and faceted hour markers contribute to a refined appearance, while the absence of a date window adds to its vintage charm. The Settimo bracelet, exclusively available in 18k yellow gold, marks a departure from Rolex's traditional offerings, showcasing the brand's commitment to innovation. While the watch is undeniably luxurious and priced at $35,900, it stands out in the luxury dress watch segment due to its robust construction and distinctive design elements. The overall craftsmanship and quality reflect Rolex's dedication to excellence, making the 1908 Settimo a noteworthy contender among high-end timepieces from prestigious brands.
