The Rolex Cellini line was created as an elegant alternative to the brand’s sportier Oyster models, focusing on refined dress watch designs that showcase Rolex’s watchmaking artistry. Introduced in the mid-1960s, the Cellini collection offered slimmer cases, manual wind movements, and a wide range of precious metal options. This particular reference from the mid-1970s reflects the era’s love of rich dial colours and clean, minimalist styling. Today, vintage Cellini models like this are highly prized for their understated luxury and timeless sophistication.

What's on Offer

We are delighted to offer for sale this elegant Rolex Cellini dress watch in solid 18k white gold, dating from circa 1975. The stunning blue dégradé dial shifts subtly in tone as the light catches it, creating a rich, almost iridescent effect that makes this piece stand out without being overstated. The applied baton hour markers and slim hands give the dial a refined simplicity, while the Rolex crown at 12 o’clock and “Cellini” script at 6 o’clock complete the sophisticated design. The 18k white gold case is in excellent condition, showing only light signs of wear commensurate with age, and houses the Rolex calibre 1601 manual wind movement. Fitted to a black leather strap, this Cellini wears beautifully on the wrist with a slim profile and an understated elegance that perfectly captures the spirit of vintage Rolex dress watches. Perfect for both everyday wear and formal occasions, this watch would make a beautiful addition to any collection.
