Named after the Florentine goldsmith Benvenuto Cellini, the line was a canvas for Rolex to showcase craftsmanship beyond rugged tool watch functionality. This 1976 Reference 4012, crafted in 18K yellow gold with a unique blue foil dial, embodies this artistic ambition, offering a sophisticated counterpoint to the brand's more famous sports watches.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003ch4\u003eA Distinctive Design Statement\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eThis Cellini 4012 stands out with its elegant proportions and refined details. The 31x32mm case, paired with a finely ribbed 18K yellow gold bezel, offers a subtle yet distinctive form factor. The blue foil dial, a less common choice for the era, provides a captivating texture and depth, catching the light in a way that elevates the watch beyond a simple time-teller. It is a piece that highlights Rolex's ability to produce precious metal dress watches with understated flair.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003ch4\u003eVery Good Condition With Honest Wear\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eThis example is in very good condition. The blue foil dial, featuring 'SWISS' text at 6 o'clock, is minty, showing no visible flaws. The 18K yellow gold case is in good shape and appears unpolished, and the crystal is clear. The watch is fitted with a Teju lizard skin strap and the original Rolex buckle, though the strap itself shows signs of heavy wear and glue residue. As with every watch we offer, this piece has been verified as mechanically sound and is ready to wear.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003ch4\u003eThe Refined Choice\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eFor the collector who appreciates Rolex's breadth beyond its sports watches, this Cellini 4012 offers a compelling narrative.
