Details
Rolex Without The Oyster Case
The Cellini line existed so Rolex could design without the Oyster case dictating terms, and the results look almost nothing like the rest of the catalog. This reference is about as complete an expression of that freedom as the line produced. A square 18K yellow gold case, a bezel set with factory diamonds, a bracelet integrated directly into the case, and a mother of pearl dial with Roman numerals. Nothing here was adapted from a tool watch. It was drawn as jewelry from the first sketch.
The Bracelet Version, With The Better Dial
Most Cellinis of this era were fitted to leather, which makes the integrated bracelet models a smaller group and a very different object on the wrist. The gold runs unbroken from one side of the case to the other and sits closer to a cuff than a watch band. Set into that is the mother of pearl, which gives the dial a depth lacquer cannot, changing tone as the wrist moves while the Roman numerals keep it anchored and readable. The diamond bezel is the frame that makes the whole thing resolve.
Very Good, With The Dial Perfect
This Cellini is in very good condition. The 18K yellow gold case and integrated bracelet show strong lines and minimal wear. The mother of pearl dial is perfect with no age visible in the stone, and the crystal is flawless. Service papers are included with the watch. As with every watch we offer, this piece has been verified as mechanically sound and is ready to wear.
An Everyday Piece Of Gold
This is for someone who wants a Rolex that does not announce itself as one from across a room. It has real weight in solid gold, it sits close to the wrist because of the integrated bracelet, and the mother of pearl means it works as easily with a suit as with nothing planned. Manual winding keeps it a watch you handle rather than one you strap on and ignore. Small gold Cellinis on bracelets are the quiet corner of the Rolex catalog, and this is a strong example of the type.

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….
