The Rolex Cellini is an elegant 'dress watch' that exudes the charm of the 1980s. It features an 18-carat yellow gold case and an integrated gold bracelet with flat, wide links. The beautiful blue lacquered dial and octagonal enamel bezel, inlaid with Roman numerals, create a classic look. The watch has virtually no signs of wear and has only rarely been worn.
The simplicity and clear design of the Rolex classic "Cellini" model imparts the wearer with a timeless elegance that – even 40 years after its creation - has lost nothing of its fascination and style. The model takes its name from Benvenuto Cellini, the great Italian goldsmith and sculptor of the Renaissance.
