Cellini Rolex

Cellini: the best-dressed watch from the House of Rolex

The Cellini watch is renowned for being the most refined reference from the inescapable Rolex manufacture. Its timelessly elegant classic design proudly celebrates the watchmaking tradition in its noblest aspects. The Cellini was created by Rolex in 1968. Its aesthetics were in stark contrast to the manufacture's superstars, the famous Oyster sports watches capable of operating at great depths. Because of its more classical and refined design, the collection was named after Benvenuto Cellini, a renowned sculptor of the Italian Renaissance. At its launch, the collection will actually bring together all Rolex dress watches (including those created before) without asserting a distinct identity. Refinement and classic lines are the main common points of the Cellini models. Nearly 40 years after the creation of the first Cellini, Rolex wanted to bring more consistency to the collection so that it would take a fully legitimate place in the world of fine watchmaking. In 2014, the House decided that only three models would now make up the collection.

Three iconic models for lovers of traditional luxury watches

The three main models that make up the collection today are the Cellini Time, Cellini Date and Cellini families. All models sport a round case and are equipped with a high-precision manufacture caliber certified chronometer. To embody the most prestigious watchmaking tradition, the three Cellini series are offered only in 18-carat gold (white gold or Everose gold made in the Rolex foundry). The cases are distinguished by their refined lugs and polished finishes. Their small size (39 mm in diameter) suits both men's and women's wrists. The domed bezel of the Cellini watches is lined with a fine fluted pattern, while the dials are adorned with a classic guilloche pattern or are lacquered depending on the model. To reinforce the classicism of the line, only black or brown leather straps with 18K gold pin buckles dress the watches in the collection.
