The Rolex Cellini collection stands out as the brand’s dedicated line of dress watches, diverging from the typical Oyster cases that define most Rolex models. Its focus on refined aesthetics and luxurious finishes positions it as an ideal accessory for formal occasions, echoing the brand’s strategic shift toward marketing the idea of owning multiple watches for different purposes. Named after the Italian goldsmith and sculptor Benvenuto Cellini, the collection initially served as a catch-all category for Rolex’s dress offerings, favouring elegance and precious metals over the robust tool-watch functionality found in other Rolex lines. Over time, designs ranged from bold, angular pieces in the 1970s to more cohesive and classic styles that emerged in the early 2000s, culminating in recent generations of Cellini watches offered in 18k white gold or Everose pink gold. Today, the Cellini range is nearly discontinued, leaving uncertainty about the line’s future but generating anticipation that it could be reimagined and revived for the modern market.

This watch is a beautiful example of the 6623 model, the 23 denoting a 37mm case, this one being made of 18k White Gold. The watch has a stunning blue dial and Roman numerals that catch the light in many different angles. The watch is in very good condition with an expected amount surface scratches for its age.
