SUMMARY

With a name inspired by the famous Italian Renaissance artist, the Cellini line represents an elegant alternative to the sports watches Rolex is most known for. This rarely-seen Danaos reference from 2002 is presented in luxurious yellow gold with a cushion-shaped case that is both elegant and intriguing. A unique sunken bezel means the case is thinned out and slides comfortably under a dress cuff. Complementing the svelte look is a crisp white dial with Arabic numeral hours markers - the markers at six are applied yellow gold, as is the coronet at 12. The watch is paired with a brown leather strap and yellow gold Rolex pin buckle.  

All watches offered for sale are searched and cleared against The Watch Register database and a certificate is available to the winning bidder upon request.

Any watch not covered by a current sales or service warranty should be considered as potentially requiring a service, even if in full working order on the date of purchase.
