Rolex Lady Cellini 18k

AWCo has once again added a rare gem to its collection: the Rolex Lady Cellini 18k from the 1980s. This watch pays tribute to the timeless elegance that distinguished Rolex from the sportier Oyster line. It is the definition of a dress watch, designed to grace the wrist of the classic woman.

The case is crafted in stunning 18-karat white gold, a luxurious statement of understated perfection. In contrast to the yellow gold of that era, the white gold exudes a cool, timeless serenity. The distinctive design of the case, with reference number 3802, is instantly recognizable. At just 26 mm, the watch is perfectly and elegantly proportioned for a woman’s wrist. It is a subtle accessory that commands attention with its impeccable finish.

The dial is minimalist and classic, featuring simple baton indices. This design ensures excellent legibility and a sleek, chic look. Inside, a mechanical, hand-wound movement is housed. This requires an intimate, daily interaction between the wearer and her timepiece. The crystal is made of scratch-resistant sapphire crystal, which contributes to its durability. Even the clasp contributes to the heritage: an original plaque buckle completes the bracelet. It’s a detail that underscores the authenticity and luxury of this vintage piece.

This watch has stood the test of time with flying colors. AWCo has had this jewel fully serviced by its master watchmakers. This is crucial, as it guarantees that this vintage piece will once again be completely reliable. Our standard two-year warranty provides the assurance that the watch can be worn daily.

The Cellini line is certainly not the most recognizable or famous line within the Rolex universe. But is a range full of gems and simply stunning watches.

Rolex is known for its rugged sports watches like the Submariner and Daytona. Even the dressier options such as the Datejust and Day-Date seem to approach the dress-theme from a tool-ish, ready-to-go angle. No wonder then that it took some marketing genius to deviate from this path in the 1950’s. René-Paul Jeanneret was Marketing Director at Rolex and introduced the idea of Rolex collectors.

The notion that one person might collect multiple Rolex watches was completely new. Up until then, Rolex made specialist watches for specialist professionals. Now, the brand would focus on offering different watches for different occasions. The Cellini line, named after Italian scultor and goldsmith Benvenuto Cellini, was born.

From the 1960’s onwards, the Cellini line was used as a playground for numerous different shapes and types of dress watches. From minimalist thin, Calatrava-style watches to the extremes of the King Midas.

Today, the Cellini collection is the only place within the Rolliverse where you will find hints at haute-horlogerie through features such as guilloché dials and moon-phase indicators. Precious materials and beautiful finishing techniques are omnipresent.

The Cellini was put into the public eye by Barack Obama, who was frequently spotted wearing one. A fine choice! The Cellini line is where you want to be looking if you are after a high-end Rolex that people will not instantly recognize as such!
