In a few respects, it looks to us like a smaller and slimmer toned down cousin of the King Midas with its more traditional design. Its flat bezel and hidden lugs emphasize its classic retro style.
Rolex designed the Cellini to be the preeminent symbol of elegance and performance. A premier dress watch, this Cellini has an 18K white gold case, Royal blue dial emblazoned with Rolex's 18K white gold coronet, and high-grade handwound caliber 1600 movement.
As a midsize mens watch it is well-suited for someone who doesn't have a large wrist. It's length and width are the exact same as a mens Cartier Tank from the era.
It is 100% Rolex down to the original hands and crown - all parts are original to the watch. It presents in gorgeous condition - a 9.7 out of 10. It has just finished a true expertly done restoration. Our photos couldn't begin to capture its condition level and attractiveness.
Its case presents as mint with the slight signs of previous polishing. Despite what the photos seems to suggest, all of its original markings are still lightly intact. On the wrist, it presents like new.
Its original dial has been meticulously restored - the printing could pass as Rolex factory done to the naked eye.
A Master Watchmaker has just overhauled the movement, which is very clean. It continues to run very strong and true, keeping time nearly on par with a new Cellini in our testing position.
For the finishing touch, it has been equipped with a brand new leather strap and aftermarket Rolex style buckle making it ready for immediate enjoyment.
Your watch is important to us, and we will take care of it for its lifetime. We provide the best after sale care in the business with an extremely experienced team of four Master Watchmakers all of whom each have over thirty-five years of experience and a large number of parts. One used to be the watchmaker for an authorized Rolex dealership and was given special training by Rolex at their Beverly Hills Service Center.
Included with the purchase is a one-year C.O.T. international warranty on the movement and its function, a full-page custom printed Connoisseur of Time Certificate of Authenticity, and a new timing certificate.
A four and a half decade old Cellini that presents like new!
