The Forgotten (Unknown) Rolex....
A strange thing happened at Baselworld 2005..... Rolex introduced one of the most radical products in its history and the watchworld 'missed' it!!! The Cellini Prince was a high-end rectangular watch with a transparent caseback showing off a highly-decora...
Brilliant write-up :))
It is precisely for the reasons you highlight in your post that the Cellini Prince, to this day, remains my favorite Rolex! I happen to have a list of watches which I aim to obtain before something along the lines of a Cellini, but as far as Rolex's offer...
