Rolex Cellini Danaos

Rolex may be known to most for their superlative chronometers, tough-as-nails sports watches and iconic chronographs �?but to say that this is all they do would be missing a large part of the brand’s important story.

The Cellini collection best exhibits Rolex's commitment to perfection not only with respect to construction, but also for style and design that exists beyond the scope of their better-known Professional collection.

The particular Cellini we have here, a Reference 4243 'Danaos' - dates to circa 2001 and features a 38mm 18k white gold cushion case with a sapphire crystal, a polished rose gold bezel, a luminous glossy black dial with a railroad minute track and a matching handset, and Rolex's Calibre 1602 hand-winding movement within. This piece comes fitted to a Rolex black leather strap with a matching white gold deployant clasp - perfect for slightly more formal occasions.

While they have played second-string to steel sports models in recent history, we've seen demand for Cellini models increasing dramatically in the past year. As tastes change and trends evolve, we're confident that we'll be seeing an even greater desire for smaller, thinner, more elegant and artistic timepieces in the coming years. 

As this occurs, it's a safe bet that demand for these under-sung, superlative offerings from Rolex will be at the forefront of the shift.
