Inherited refinement
Rolex Perpetual
Padellone
With its complete annual calendar and moonphase display, the Perpetual Padellone offers a window onto the night sky.
Rolex expands the Perpetual collection through the addition of a watch with an instantaneous complete annual calendar: the Perpetual Padellone. This refined creation, which displays the date, day, month and moonphase as well as the hours, minutes and seconds, is equipped with pioneering technical innovations. Its harmonious design strikes a perfect balance between traditional and contemporary styles. Named after an earlier Rolex timepiece with a complete calendar – reference 8171, known to collectors as the ‘Padellone’ – this new model represents a natural continuation of the brand’s heritage. With its moonphase disc that links the rhythm of the Moon with that of the Earth, it offers a window onto the night sky.
Poetry in motion
A focus in harmony
Inherited refinement
In its 950 platinum version, the watch is paired with a matt black alligator leather strap. The Settimo bracelet, composed of rows of seven links, exudes refinement and elegance.With a special system to attach it to the middle case, for which a patent application has been filed, this metal bracelet is furnished with a concealed folding Crownclasp, ensuring seamless visual harmony across its surface.
The Padellone’s matt brown or matt black alligator leather strap has a green calfskin lining and tone-on-tone stitching. It is equipped with a Dualclasp, a double folding clasp.

Cutting-edge technology
The movement also inaugurates the Haplos system. This patented system enables the movement to differentiate between 30-day and 31-day months. It consists of just two components coupled to the date mechanism – an annual lever and an additional carrier finger.
Since 2026, the Superlative Chronometer certification has included three new testing criteria: resistance to magnetism, reliability and durability. These criteria are implemented throughout the design and manufacturing stages of each timepiece – hundreds of checks and validations directly related to the watch’s performance are carried out during these phases. They supplement the criteria established when the certification was redefined in 2015 governing precision, waterproofness, self-winding and autonomy. The precision requirements are particularly stringent: measured after casing the movement – officially certified as a chronometer – the watch’s accuracy must be between –2 and +2 seconds per day.
The Superlative Chronometer status is symbolized by the green seal that comes with every Rolex watch and is coupled with an international five-year guarantee.
