A new generation of Rolex Cellini watches was launched in 2014, with a redesigned lineup of models. Now, they boast 39mm cases, double-stepped bezels, flared winding crowns, and leather straps. And the Cellini has been one of the company’s best selling watches ever. If you’re not familiar with the Cellini, read on to learn more. Below we’ve compiled a list of the top 10 models available today.
Rolex Cellini Prince
The most iconic Cellini Prince was the Ref. 5443. This highly decorated rectangular watch had a caseback made of transparent crystal. Unfortunately, this model failed to find favor with Rolex consumers and was discontinued in 2015.
The Cellini Prince is one of the most beautiful examples of contemporary haute horology. It is packed with first features, and its price tag is far below the MSRP of the watch. If the Cellini Prince were to be produced today, it would be the centerpiece of a high-end haute-horology brand. And while the Cellini Prince may be expensive, unworn examples often sell for less than the MSRP.
Danaos
Known as one of the most distinctive and stylish Rolex watches, the Danaos Rolex Cellini has a classic design that is reminiscent of the original bubbleback models. Its 37mm case is encrusted with yellow gold and features leather straps and a manual winding movement. The dial is simple yet elegant, with gold stick indices. A leather strap is also included.
The price of a Danaos Rolex Cellini starts at $4,200 and goes up to $6,795 for the highest end model. The luxury watch brand is known for its impeccable craftsmanship and timekeeping accuracy, as well as its iconic name. Despite the high price, the quality and design of the Cellini Rolex is worth it. This classic watch will make a great gift for any occasion.
Prince
The Prince of Rolex Cellini is a renowned Rolex model. The series is comprised of five models. Each of these watches features a different Art Deco design motif. The Cellini Prince in pink gold is one of the most rare models. Among these, the Ref. 5442 is the most popular. Its gold case is accented by rose gold, while the model in white gold features yellow gold hands.
The Prince of Rolex Cellini is a classic collection that combines the technical know-how of the company with its passion for design. The series features a manual-wound mechanical movement that is precise and demonstrates outstanding performance. The design incorporates Art Deco details as well as modern construction. The Prince model has a 72-hour power reserve. The design is reminiscent of the roaring 20s and features a unique positioning of the hands on the two counters.
Octagon
The Cellini series of watches was originally introduced in the 1960s as limited editions. The Cellini Midas was inspired by the King Midas Rolex from the mid-1960s. Other Cellini models include the Cellini Octagon, Danaos, and the Prince. The Cellini line is known for its exquisitely crafted watches made of precious metals, mostly gold, and sometimes platinum.
The Rolex Cellini Dual Time features a self-winding movement powered by the brand’s in-house Caliber 3180. The Cellini Moonphase was introduced at Baselworld 2017 and features a blue enameled disc at six o’clock for the current moon phase. It is also equipped with a small meteorite. Its retail price is $26,750. The Cellini Octagon also features a date window.
