Details
The Essence Of The Dress Watch
The Cellini line has always been Rolex’s answer to the pure, uncomplicated dress watch. Freed from the constraints of the Oyster case, these watches prioritize elegance, precious metals, and slender profiles. This reference 5109 from 1976 is a perfect expression of that philosophy. The combination of a solid 18k yellow gold case, a clean champagne sunburst dial, and a classic shape makes it a timeless and understated piece. It represents a different side of Rolex, one focused entirely on classical form.
A Well Preserved And Original Example
What stands out here is the watch's honest and complete condition. It retains its original signed Rolex buckle, a small but significant detail that is often lost over time. Paired with its original leather strap, this example feels correct and true to its era. It's a classic configuration that showcases the simple, enduring appeal of the Cellini design language.
Excellent And Uncomplicated
This example is in very good condition. The 18k yellow gold case shows almost no signs of wear, retaining its original lines and finish. The champagne dial and the crystal are both excellent and clean. It is a straightforward and well-cared-for piece that presents beautifully on the wrist. As with every watch we offer, this piece has been verified as mechanically sound and is ready to wear.
A Daily Touch Of Gold
This is a perfect choice for someone seeking an elegant, daily-wearable gold watch that flies under the radar. The manual-wind movement creates a direct connection between the owner and the watch, a small morning ritual that is lost with automatic pieces. It’s a subtle, classic, and entirely versatile option that works in any setting that calls for a touch of refinement.

What Our Clients Say About Us

Dan Young

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….
