Details
Mottled Tortoiseshell Dial And Numerals
Warm mottled brown tortoiseshell gives this 1981 Rolex Ladies Cellini 5021 a dial in amber and espresso tones. Round diamonds ring the octagonal 18K yellow gold bezel, each held by gold claws, while applied yellow gold Arabic numerals and slim hands catch the light. The gold head runs straight into a multi-strand woven 18K yellow gold bracelet with no break at the lugs.
From Geneva's Dress Cellini Line
Rolex named the Cellini collection after Renaissance goldsmith Benvenuto Cellini upon launching the dress line in the 1960s. Outside the waterproof Oyster catalog, Cellini workshops focused on hand-wound calibers, solid 18K goldsmithing, and decorative dial materials. By 1981, references like the 5021 combined bench-woven 18K gold bracelets with factory diamond bezels, applied gold numerals, and warm tortoiseshell lacquer faces.
Bright Claw-Set Bezel Diamonds
This piece is in Very Good Vintage Condition, preserving clean goldsmithing and a clean tortoiseshell face. The 18K yellow gold case holds neat transitions into the woven bracelet, a signed crown, and a clean caseback. The claw-set diamonds sit bright in the bezel around the tortoiseshell dial and crisp applied gold Arabic numerals. The crystal is clear. The integrated 18K yellow gold bracelet drapes smoothly with minimal stretch and locks securely at the signed clasp. As with every watch we offer, this piece has been verified as mechanically sound and is ready to wear.
An Integrated Yellow Gold Weave
Supple woven gold links and a slim manual-wind profile let fifty-seven grams of yellow gold lie flat on the wrist. The diamond bezel and tortoiseshell dial suit dressier occasions.
