Notes

DIAM. 32 mm. Approx. THICKNESS 7 mm. Overall length 155 mm. Designed in the early seventies, this Rolex Cellini represents the new era of creativity with watches for women becoming true pieces of jewelery. Unseen on the market until today and bought new by the consignorâ??s mother, it is made of wonderful gold hoops all linked together that give this piece a lovely feel and flow. Fully signed Rolex up to the clasp and weighing in at an impressive 102 gramms, it is surely one of the most unusual and decorative piece of the Cellini line to appear at auction.
