1908 39 mm, platinum, polished finish, Reference 52506

The ice blue dial features a guilloché rice-grain motif. This rosette-like design is distinctive for its three-dimensional, repeating geometric pattern that extends across the surface of the dial starting from the small seconds counter at 6 o’clock. The minute track is surrounded by a filet sauté with crimped pattern, which is also guilloché. With the introduction of a dial created via guillochage, or engine turning – a technique that uses a turning tool to sculpt a pattern into a surface – Rolex is pursuing the course it has set for the Perpetual collection as a tribute to the classic art of watchmaking infused with the brand’s know-how and creativity. This exclusive dial bears the same Arabic numerals 3, 9 and 12, the same faceted hour markers and the same hands as that of the 18 kt gold versions.

This exclusive dial colour can be found only on the Day-Date, the Cosmograph Daytona and the Perpetual 1908.

This elegant and understated watch features a slim case crowned with a bezel that is part domed and part finely fluted – the lower part being given an elegant fluting and the upper part domed.
