1976 Rolex Cellini 4105 - 18K Yellow Gold Champagne Roman Numeral Dial

Details
Rolex Beyond The Oyster Case
The Cellini line has always represented a different side of Rolex. It is the brand's deliberate departure from utilitarian tool watches, focusing instead on the classical principles of the great Geneva dress watch manufacturers. This reference 4105 from 1976 is a perfect expression of that philosophy. Crafted from solid 18K yellow gold, its rectangular form favors elegance and proportion over water resistance and brute force. This is a watch for the collector who understands that Rolex's mastery extends well beyond the Submariner.
A Study In Classic Form
This example stands out for its pure, timeless execution. The tank-style case is a confident design choice that feels just as relevant today as it did in the 1970s. It frames a clean champagne sunburst dial, which is elevated by crisp, black painted Roman numerals for a touch of formality. Crucially, this piece is fitted with its original 18K yellow gold Rolex buckle, a small but significant detail that confirms its integrity and is often lost over time.
A Well-Preserved Dress Piece
This Cellini is in good overall condition. The 18K yellow gold case shows honest wear consistent with its age and appears unpolished. The champagne dial remains in perfect condition. It is mounted on a brown alligator strap that complements the warm tones of the gold. As with every watch we offer, this piece has been verified as mechanically sound and is ready to wear.
The Ritual Of The Manual Wind
This is a watch for someone who appreciates the physical connection that a manual-wind movement provides. The daily ritual of winding the crown is a reminder of the machine on your wrist. It is a subtle, sophisticated choice that signals taste over pure brand recognition. For the person who already has the requisite Rolex sports models, the Cellini is the next logical step, a piece that rewards knowledge rather than just being recognized.

What Our Clients Say About Us

I knew I was gonna like Danny, based on his name, but nothing could’ve prepared me for how great of an experience this was. He had the most beautiful 70s Seamaster Cosmic on his website and I was set to be married 2 days later - I arranged to buy it but before leaving we both realized it needed to be serviced. I panicked, because I was literally buying this for my wedding, and Danny being the legend he is, loaned me a nearly identical Seamaster to make sure I could get through the event Never have I had someone go so above and beyond for me, especially while purchasing one of the lesser priced items in their inventory. He serviced my watch and exchanged it with me after the wedding on a super fast turnaround timeline. I would sincerely recommend you visit this guy, you will not be disappointed Edit: adding a pic of the loaner (two tone) and the owner (crosshair)

Great service and shop. Danny and his team were incredibly accommodating, professional, and kind. Great selection of vintage watches. Their store is the hidden gem in the diamond district.

This was my first real luxury watch purchase, a Rolex 15200 Date 34mm, I own Tissots and a Laco, but those are entry level luxury watches. I found Danny’s Vintage Watches online, and had great feedback both on Google, Chrono24 and the Reddit watch community. So decided to give him a shot as buying online can be a crap shoot. Ordered Monday night, was at my doorstep Friday morning. Despite the watch being over 30 years old, serial number says it’s from 91, the watch looked new. Didn’t come with box or papers, and was shipped in a plastic sleeve wrapped in bubble wrap. Danny was always available to answer questions. I’ll be buying from Danny again for the next purchase…saw a couple of Speedmasters on his site I liked….
