Rolex Cellini Dual time: bought it 3 years ago. A very understated, elegant and underrated watch. The Cellini line is probably the only one you can get without a waiting list (LOL).


I own several dress watches (Vacheron Ultra fine, Patek Philippe Calatrava, Lange 1815) and I have to say there is something special about the Rolex Cellini that you won't find in any other brand.  Just re-discovered this beauty from the safe box and plan to wear it a lot!

I can not accept a prince. All other Rolexes are fine. The Cellini is beautiful.

On the Cellini models, I truly appreciate the one with the moon phase. I just do not think it is « worth » the price point compared to other brands. So I’ll wait until the price goes down in the preowned market.

My walk of life, discovering and buying watches. First, i own no Rolex. I can afford a Rolex, so what i do is read myself into the subject. Sure, i saw a Cellini and think most of the time, ok it’s a Rolex watch. Looking at a submariner model. Aaa that’s better. My fave is a green 116610LV. Another model i watch often is an Explorer 2 with a white dial, and i want a gmt version. Then there are Airkings, day dates, date just, daytonas etc. We’ll see which one would be my first Rolex.

I think the pricing compared to other brands (at least for the basic Cellini line) is better but may be on the moon you have other options.

compared to steel models (when they were available). The watch is pretty much perfect and IMHO even better than many other more expensive classic dress watches.
