Rolex Cellini Lapis Lazuli Ref. 4160

The Rolex Cellini Ref. 4160 from 1992 comes in a solid 18k yellow gold case and features a rare blue lapis dial, one of the most distinctive options for this model. Lapis is a natural stone, and each dial is unique  the deep blue color can show subtle variations in tone, and natural inclusions give it character that cannot be replicated. This makes every lapis-dial Cellini truly one of a kind.

The case and dial are in excellent condition, and the watch comes with its original 18k gold buckle, completing the original look.

The Cellini line is Rolex’s dedicated dress watch collection, named after the Italian artist Benvenuto Cellini, focusing on elegant, classic designs. The Ref. 4160 is a minimalist dress watch from the 1990s, valued for its clean design, well-proportioned case, and use of precious materials.

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!
