Rolex Cellini Cushion lady, white gold, 1980s
Identity
Rolex Cellini cushion-shaped ladies' watch, 1980s. Manual-winding mechanical movement. 18-carat white gold cushion case, 24 × 22 mm, crown signed with the Rolex coronet. Engraved bezel bearing the minute track and hour markers. Blue gradient dial, known as Vignette, baton hands. Sapphire crystal. Leather strap, white gold pin buckle stamped with the Rolex coronet in relief.
Horological context
The Cellini is Rolex's dress watch collection, named in tribute to Benvenuto Cellini (1500-1571), one of the most celebrated goldsmiths and sculptors of the Italian Renaissance. Launched in 1968 under René-Paul Jeanneret, it embodied the idea of a watch wardrobe in which the evening watch answers the sports watch. Departing from Oyster codes, the Cellini forgoes the waterproof case and is devoted exclusively to precious metals — exploring a wide freedom of form, from the asymmetrical King Midas designed by Gérald Genta to the rectangular Prince. Throughout its five decades of production, it favoured refinement, slim cases and elaborate dials, housing both mechanical and quartz movements. Rolex maintained the collection until 2023.
Character
The blue of the dial darkens towards the edges, giving it depth. With neither indexes nor numerals, it leaves the engraved bezel to mark the hours. Petite, the watch is as much a jewel as an instrument.
Serviced watch. Normal patina and signs of age. Delivered with a Contre-Temps box and the Contre-Temps 24-month warranty certificate.
