The Cellini is a refreshing addition to Rolex’s elegant lineup—a family of watches that leans towards a more “dressy” style compared to the brand’s iconic steel sports models. And indeed, the fascinating addition to the Cellini family is an exceptional display of the moon phase at six o’clock on the dial. As we’ve come to expect from Rolex—even though this watch may seem simple at first glance, it is far from it.
The case is made of 18-carat pink gold and measures 39mm in diameter. This is not a watch meant to grab attention but to complement a sophisticated evening look. The glossy white dial, surrounded by two gold rings, features a blue enamel disk made using the traditional method that has been accepted for centuries in classic Swiss watchmaking. On the enamel disk, you’ll find both an “empty” moon on its first day and a full moon made of meteorite, unique to this watch. The “empty” moon is represented by a silver ring. To know the moon’s phase outside your window, you just need to look where the golden arrow on top of the disk points.
The caliber is from Rolex, with automatic winding and modern components such as a non-magnetic hairspring and internal shock absorbers. It has a power reserve of 48 hours and is COSC certified for accuracy. A blue hand indicates the day of the month on an outer ring. The brown alligator leather strap and 18-carat pink gold buckle complete the very clean yet sophisticated look.
Bottom line: Now you just need a suit to match.
Price: $27,000.
