Rolex Cellini 18K yellow gold ref. 4112

This is a beautiful example of a classic dress watch: the Rolex Cellini. While Rolex is primarily known for robust sports watches like the Submariner or the Datejust, the Cellini line embodies pure elegance and tradition.

The case is crafted from 18-karat yellow gold. A minimalist “champagne” or gold dial with a subtle sunburst finish. The slim indices and the absence of a seconds hand or date window emphasize the sleek design.

This type of watch almost always features a manual movement. This ensures that the case remains extremely thin, allowing the watch to slip effortlessly under a shirt cuff.

The collection is named after the Italian goldsmith and sculptor of the Renaissance, Benvenuto Cellini. Rolex introduced this line to showcase craftsmanship and artistic expression.

While modern watches often become larger, this Cellini retains the classic dimensions (usually between 31mm and 33mm), perfect for an understated, formal look.The combination of the warm gold case with the dark brown lizard leather strap (as shown in the photo) gives the watch a very chic texture and contrast.

Reference number: The warranty certificate clearly shows the number 4112/8. The “4112” represents the specific model design, and the “/8” is the Rolex code for 18-karat yellow gold.

The watch is shown with the original “Warranty” document. Such paper proof significantly increases its collector’s value, as it confirms its authenticity and provenance. It is presented in an original wooden Rolex box with a velvet or suede-like lining. Cellini models were often delivered in more luxurious wooden boxes instead of the standard green leather boxes seen with sports models.

The watch is in excellent condition. The dial is bright with no visible oxidation (blemishes), and the sharp lines of the lugs suggest the case was not heavily polished in the past. It has an original 18-karat yellow gold buckle, recognizable by the characteristic Rolex crown that sits atop the buckle.
