1976 Rolex Cellini 4112 - 18K Yellow Gold Champagne Roman Dial
The Road Less Traveled
The Cellini line was Rolex's deliberate departure from the rugged, waterproof Oyster cases that built its empire. Named for the celebrated Renaissance goldsmith Benvenuto Cellini, these watches were an exercise in pure elegance, crafted exclusively from precious metals and focused on slim, refined design. The reference 4112 is a perfect expression of this philosophy, a simple and timeless dress watch that showcases the brand's ability to compete with the great Geneva houses on their own terms. It represents a different side of Rolex, one built for the cuff of a shirt rather than the sleeve of a wetsuit.
A Study In Classic Form
This example from 1976 embodies the core purpose of the Cellini. The case is executed in solid 18K yellow gold, with an integrated bezel that flows cleanly into the lugs. Its Champagne dial, marked by classic Roman numerals, is uncluttered and legible. There is no date window, no seconds hand, and no extraneous text. It's a watch reduced to its essential function, a quiet statement of quality and traditional style that remains relevant today.
Honest And Well Preserved
This watch is in good overall condition. The dial is in great shape, with crisp printing and a clean surface. The yellow gold case shows signs of wear consistent with careful use over more than four decades and appears to be unpolished. The crystal is clean. It's fitted on a leather strap with its original 18K gold Rolex buckle. As with every watch we offer, this piece has been verified as mechanically sound and is ready to wear.
The Ritual Of The Daily Wind
This is a watch for someone who appreciates understatement and classic design. Because it's a manual-wind watch, it requires a daily interaction. The ritual of winding the crown each morning is a physical connection to the machine, a quiet moment that many collectors find more satisfying than an automatic. It's a perfect choice for formal occasions or for the person who believes a watch should be elegant, not imposing.

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….
Can't recommend Danny's vintage watches enough!!! My first Omega ever and im in love have been wearing every day since I purchased it. Danny's shop is a must visit if you are in NYC looking for a watch!!!
