The Rolex Cellini 4243 isn’t everyone’s everyday watch; and it’s certainly does not have to be. This incredible timepiece is meant to accompany you to black tie events, cocktail parties and date night. The smooth, curvy case against a leather strap provides the inherently classy, elevated aesthetic you need to tie your look together.
The Cellini itself is an important piece of the Rolex collection, being the timepiece of high standards for timekeeping while encapsulating the heritage of watchmaking itself. Let’s just say the Cellini is your stealth Rolex. Little fact that President Barack Obama was a Cellini man, might get you excited.
What’s beautiful about this watch is the pure simplicity and elegance of it, and that starts with the silver face. Reflecting light and mimicking the cool, curvaceous feel of the case, the face is polished and clean. The luminous baton index hour markers outlined in white gold reach out to the center, curved, rectangular minute-markers hugging the inner bezel.
But what your eye follows around the face are the tapered sweeping hands, swinging past the cursive Cellini inscribed above 6-o’clock and the boxy Rolex logo at the top.
This is a beautiful, classic timepiece that is very comfortable to wear and easily fits under shirt cuffs. Rolex holds its value better than any other watch brand. It is very rare to find a watch this old with original box. Defiantly a collector watch. Please look at all the pictures, as they are part of the description. The watch is working and keeping great time. This is a highly collectible watch. Very few left with this rare movement. Sure, to increase in value overtime, and a great addition to your collection. The condition of the watch is the same as it appears in the photos. The watch is working and is part of our new Certified Pre-Owned CPO Program. Contact me if you have any questions first.
