Info: |
Although the Rolex Cellini has never been the top dog in the Rolex line-up, it has always garnered the admiration of those who appreciate the subtle magnificence and sober classicism of its refined and elegant lines. The Cellini Collection is worlds away from the sportier models offered by Rolex. It is a watch created for those who choose the “path less travelled” and for whom less is more. It was named in honour of Benvenuto Cellini (1500-1571), the celebrated Florentine sculptor, musician and goldsmith from the Renaissance period. With its aesthetics corresponding to what is known as the “Golden Section,” a principle equivalent to the Divine Proportion, which expresses in mathematics a design that is particularly pleasing to the eye, the Cellini manages to interpret the past in perfect harmony with the present. This particular example is in excellent condition and even comes with the original 18ct gold buckle |
