I always find the to big/small debate kind of moot. Lets face it oversized was/still is in fashion.

That being said the Cellini is more of a dress watch and does look kinda big on your wrist....but some people like that. The Daytona looks ok although some might consider it a bit oversized as well. I guess the tool watch argument could be made but is it

Thank you, Patekova, for sharing your comparative thoughts on the Chronometro Gondolo and the Cellini Prince.

Concerning the Chronometro Gondolo, I feel exactly like you: it's the best of both vintage and modern worlds. This watch resonates with me very deeply. Its century-old design evokes a past where elegance, exquisite refinement and a form of fantasy reigned

Emmanuel, for me this is the absolute perfect blend of the best of vintage and modern. On the wrist it appears to be totally vintage and is also exceptionally beautiful.

Turn it over and under the hood, it is powered by a totally modern, top end movement. By contrast, the Rolex Cellini Prince which you recently wrote about for me is an unappealing hodge podge. Being Rolex, I assume the movement is excellent but aesthetica

A shame indeed, but dress watches have become

far less successful than sports watches. Rolex always keeps a dress watch in its catalog: the current one is the 1908, which has its charm, but it isn't as interesting to me as the Cellini Prince. Best, Emmanuel

This is where you see the limits of Rolexes, image is overly linked to the Submariners and the likes. These were actually very nice and very well made models that never quite reached their customers.

I saw a brand new fully "stickered" yellow gold version for a fraction of the original price. My guess was that people were buying these brand new, keeping them in safes, just to be allowed to enter the waiting list of Submariners, which is a shame as you

What a fantastic overview =)

As I mentioned on multiple occasions before, the Cellini Prince is my favorite Rolex watch ever. The 5442 and 5443 are, easily, my favorites of the collection. I'd happily have either, perhaps just a smidge more preference for the rose gold due to its mor

Overview of the Rolex Cellini Prince

The Rolex Cellini Prince was introduced in 2005 and discontinued ten years later in 2015 . During this period, five different models were made. Rectangular case, art deco design, shaped manual-winding movement decorated to match each case and dial: what a
