1976 Rolex Cellini Cushion 4114 - 18K Yellow Gold Champagne Sunburst Dial

Details
The Art Of The Dress Watch
The Cellini line was Rolex's answer to the traditional, elegant dress watch. It represented a deliberate departure from the rugged, waterproof Oyster cases that built the brand's reputation. Named for the Florentine goldsmith Benvenuto Cellini, these watches focused on precious metals, slim profiles, and refined design. This Reference 4114, with its soft cushion case, is a perfect expression of that philosophy from the mid-1970s, showcasing Rolex's mastery of form beyond pure function.
Pure Mid Century Design
This example is defined by its warm, cohesive aesthetic. The 18K yellow gold case has a gentle presence on the wrist, with rounded corners that soften its geometry. It frames a clean champagne sunburst dial, a classic combination that has remained timeless for decades. The watch is completed by its original Rolex-signed 18K gold buckle, a small but significant detail that confirms the piece's integrity and makes for a complete, period-correct package.
A Well Preserved Gold Case
Condition is good. The 18K yellow gold case has been well cared for, showing little sign of wear. The case appears unpolished, retaining its intended shape. The dial and crystal are both in excellent condition, with the sunburst finish on the dial remaining clean and vibrant. It is a sharp example from its era. As with every watch we offer, this piece has been verified as mechanically sound and is ready to wear.
An Understated Statement In Gold
This is a watch for someone who appreciates the Rolex name but wants to wear the road less traveled. It is an exercise in restraint, offering the quiet confidence of solid gold without the overt sportiness of the brand's more common models. As a manual-wind watch, it asks for a moment of interaction each day. The ritual of winding the crown creates a physical connection between the owner and the machine, a welcome routine in a digital world. It is the perfect daily dress watch in 18K gold.
