Rolex Cellini Time

.Rolex Models.
The Cellini Time is a uniquely elegant Rolex model that diverges from their Oyster Perpetual line. It does not feature their signature Oyster case, which makes it an outlier in terms of design. The Cellini models receive far less attention and adulation in forums and blogs than other Rolexes, but they offer an important option for those who are looking for a simple yet sophisticated dress watch.

The Everose gold Cellini Time shown above features a pink dial and a diamond bezel on a 39 mm case. It has a power reserve of 48 hours and a depth rating of 50 meters. With a black alligator leather strap, this watch is designed to allow the wearer to tell the time on a clear, luxury timepiece.

While this is not the ideal model for rough and tumble situations, it does provide a wonderful option for those who appreciate a refined classical design aesthetic. Its round case features long hour markers that are divided by the minute scale on an otherwise clear dial.

In addition to the Cellini Time model shown above, Rolex offers the Cellini Date and Cellini Dual Time models that feature elegant sub-dials that display the date and second time zone, respectively.

Rolex Cellini Date

.Rolex Models.
Taking its name from Italian Renaissance goldsmith and artist Benvenuto Cellini, the Rolex Cellini Date embodies the intellectual sophistication that characterized the mannerism movement that the artist helped define.

This timepiece exudes classic elegance, pictured here in rose gold with a black dial and black alligator leather strap. Unlike other Rolex models, this Cellini is only available in 18 karat Everose or white gold with either a black or silver dial and a shiny leather strap in either brown or black. 

Other unique qualities of this model include an analog date display on a sub-dial in the 3 o'clock position and a double bezel that is both domed and fluted. The hour markers are split down the middle by the minutes, making for another interesting design feature.

Much like its namesake, this Rolex model breaks all the rules but still manages to represent the unnaturally elegant aesthetic of Cellini's work.
