About the Perpetual 1908 52509
The Rolex Perpetual 1908 52509 is a reference in the Rolex 1908 collection. Rolex has made it since 2023. From our catalog: a 39 mm case in 18 ct white gold; bezel: Domed and fluted, 18k white gold; movement: Calibre 7140. The specifications below list every fact we have sourced for this reference; anything we could not source is marked as not known.
What the sales say
19 sold results feed this range, 18 eBay sales and 1 auction result. The oldest sale listed here is dated December 19, 2023 and the newest September 23, 2026, a span of about 33 months. The peak month for transactions was September 2026 (3). On the auction side, the results are from Grailzee. Few references earn our top rating; this one does, thanks to a dense and consistent stream of results. The newest sale is 47 days old. Its 6 sales in the last 90 days agree closely, so the volatility label is Stable. A fair price for the 52509 can sit anywhere from about 25% below to 25% above the midpoint. Sales are thin, so older results keep their weight longer (a half-life of 180 days).
A year-on-year figure needs three sales in each window; it has 2 in the earlier year and 17 in the latest. Its sales history in our records starts in December 2023, too recent for a long-run comparison yet.
Without box and papers, expect about 13% less; this family has no watch-only sales of its own yet, so that gap comes from our wider measurement. The listed sales split 10 full sets to 0 watch-only, with 14 unworn; the rest gave no set details. Unworn full sets sell about 5% above worn ones across our data, so an unworn example sits above the headline. The lowest listed sale, on April 19, 2026 (on eBay, set not stated), came in about 11% below the worth-about figure; the highest, on December 19, 2023 (on eBay, unworn, set not stated), about 39% above the worth-about figure.
