A Discussion around the Rolex 1908 & Cellini Collection. Why does Rolex still make Dress Watches? For the opportunity to say that they can still produce their more classic pieces, to now compete with names that are far more established and to allow for customers to buy something in their stores in order to be placed on "the list". There are plenty of thoughts surrounding the 1908, but none of us really knows why it exists.
