This 1976 example embodies that freedom with a combination of materials that is both rare and unexpected. The solid 18K yellow gold case and integrated bracelet are paired with a factory-set diamond bezel and a dial made from a thin slice of Walnut burl. It channels the avant-garde spirit of Genta's King Midas, but with an organic warmth that gives it a character all its own.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eA Study In Gold And Wood\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eThis watch is defined by its exceptional configuration. The Walnut burl wood dial is the centerpiece, with a rich, swirling grain that makes each example unique. Finding a vintage wood dial without damage is rare, and this one is preserved beautifully. The factory diamond bezel adds a layer of conventional luxury that contrasts perfectly with the natural material of the dial, while the integrated bracelet creates a seamless flow of gold around the wrist. At nearly 120 grams, it has a substantial presence.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHonest Wear On A Rare Bird\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eThis example is in good overall condition. The Walnut burl wood dial is in great shape, free of the cracks that commonly affect these delicate dials. The 18K yellow gold case and integrated bracelet show scratches consistent with a watch from this era that has been enjoyed. The case appears unpolished, retaining its original factory lines. 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\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFor The Educated Collector\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eThis Cellini is for the collector who appreciates the roads Rolex chose not to take with its main production lines. It represents a moment in the 1970s when brands were experimenting with bold shapes, precious materials, and organic textures. Winding the manual movement each morning is a reminder of the craft involved, a physical connection to a different era of watchmaking. It is a confident and unconventional choice for someone who values design history as much as brand prestige.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Specs\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eReference:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4055\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eModel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Cellini\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eYear:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1976\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMovement:\u003c\/strong\u003e Manual\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCase Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 27x36mm\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBezel:\u003c\/strong\u003e 18K Yellow Gold with Factory Set Diamonds\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBracelet:\u003c\/strong\u003e 18K Yellow Gold Integrated\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBracelet Length:\u003c\/strong\u003e 7.25in\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Walnut Burl Wood\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMetal:\u003c\/strong\u003e 18K Yellow Gold\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 118.6g\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSKU:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1323\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Rolex","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55313790140707,"sku":"11323","price":42500.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0889\/6099\/1523\/files\/DSCF8552.jpg?v=1783525931","url":"https:\/\/dannysvintagewatches.com\/products\/1976-rolex-cellini-4055-18k-yellow-gold-walnut-burl-wood-dial-diamond-bezel","provider":"Danny's Vintage Watches","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
