The Rolex 1908 ref. 52508 in 18k Yellow Gold is a superlative exhibition of classical horology and contemporary refinement. This model features an intense black dial with a matte lacquer finish, creating a high-contrast backdrop for the applied 18k gold Arabic numerals at 3, 9, and 12, and the faceted hour markers. The handset—a signature open-circle Breguet-style hour hand and a double-edged sword minute hand—is diamond-cut to achieve a mirror-level reflectivity that aids legibility without the need for lume.

The defining characteristic of this 2026 iteration is the Settimo bracelet. "Settimo" (meaning seventh in Italian) refers to its intricate seven-link construction. Each small, slightly contoured link is entirely mirror-polished, creating a fluid, supple band that conforms to the wrist like silk. Unlike the Oyster or Jubilee, the Settimo features a patent-pending attachment system that creates a deliberate, vintage-style gap between the bracelet and the 39 mm case. Powered by the Calibre 7140, the watch features a transparent sapphire caseback—a rarity for Rolex—revealing the gold openwork rotor and bridges decorated with Rolex Côtes de Genève.

Named in honor of the year Hans Wilsdorf officially registered the "Rolex" brand name in Switzerland, the 1908 collection was launched in 2023 to replace the Cellini. It is the purest expression of Rolex’s "traditional" watchmaking, focusing on slenderness and artisanal finishing. By adding the Settimo bracelet in 2025, Rolex has moved the 1908 into the realm of "all-gold" luxury, bridging the gap between a discreet dress watch and a significant piece of horological jewelry.

WATCHES

General Information

Who is Gamzo & Co., and where is it based?

Gamzo & Co. is a luxury timepiece retailer specializing in high-end Swiss watches from brands such as Rolex, Audemars Piguet, Patek Philippe, and more. We are based in Los Angeles, California, in the heart of the Diamond District, and serve clients nationwide and internationally.

Is Gamzo & Co. an authorized dealer for the watch brands it sells?

Gamzo & Co. is not an authorized dealer. We operate in the secondary market, which allows us to offer hard-to-find, discontinued, and highly sought-after models.

Where do you source your luxury watches from?

Our watches are sourced from a trusted global network of authorized retailers, collectors, dealers, and private clients. Every piece undergoes strict verification before entering our inventory.

Warranty

Are your new watches covered by warranty?

Yes. New watches typically include the manufacturer’s international warranty, valid from the date on the original warranty card.  All of our watches are also covered by our Gamzo & Co. one-year limited warranty.  Please see the Gamzo & Co. limited warranty page for additional information. 

What does your warranty cover, and how long does it last?

How long does the appraisal process take?

Most appraisals are completed within 24–48 hours once we receive all required details or the physical watch.
