The Rolex Cellini collection represents the brand's long-standing but less-publicized commitment to classical haute horlogerie — dress watches crafted in gold, designed for formal occasions, and named for the legendary Renaissance goldsmith Benvenuto Cellini. Dating to the 1960s, the Cellini line has encompassed a range of dress watch expressions including the Cellini Time, Cellini Date, Cellini Dual Time, and Cellini Moonphase, the latter featuring one of the most striking dials in the current Rolex catalog. Vintage Cellini references in yellow and white gold — the ref. 3833, 4112, and 5116 among them — are quiet collector pieces that have benefited from growing interest in non-sport Rolex. The current Cellini collection, launched with the 50500 series in 2014, brought an engine-turned dial and a Danaos bracelet with a Double Folding Crown Clasp, housed in a 39 mm case powered by the caliber 3132 with a blue Parachrom hairspring. The Cellini Moonphase ref. 50535 is considered among the most underappreciated watches in the Rolex catalog. Pre-owned Cellini models offer an elegant alternative to the ubiquitous sport watch market. DeMesy & Co. in Dallas has sourced and authenticated pre-owned Cellini timepieces since 1987.
