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.

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….
