The History of the Rolex Cellini – The Elegant Side of Rolex
The Rolex Cellini was created as a tribute to classic watchmaking. Named after the Italian Renaissance artist and goldsmith Benvenuto Cellini, it embodies the pursuit of perfection and aesthetic harmony. While Rolex is known for its sporty models like the Submariner and Daytona, the Cellini showcases a different facet of the brand—a collection entirely focused on elegance, fine details, and traditional craftsmanship.
Since its introduction in the 1960s, the Cellini has continually evolved. The modern models combine classic design with the latest Rolex innovations. Whether the understated Cellini Time, the functional Cellini Date, the practical Cellini Dual Time, or the sophisticated Cellini Moonphase – each model represents timeless beauty and the highest precision.
Design & Features – Classic elegance in the highest quality
The Rolex Cellini deliberately distinguishes itself from other Rolex models. Its sleek, round 18-karat gold case, classic dial with Roman or applied indices, and elegant hands lend it a special refinement. Unlike the well-known Oyster models, the Cellini features a flat case shape and elegant leather straps that underscore the watch's traditional character.
Inside, a high-precision, self-winding in-house movement ensures reliable accuracy. Particularly impressive is the Cellini Moonphase, which, with its elaborate moon phase display made of enamel and meteorite, is a rarity in the Rolex portfolio.

The Rolex Cellini collection offers different models, all of which represent timeless elegance, but each with its own character and special functions.
