The Cellini is one of the cutest brands of Rolex. Despite being overshadowed by big hitters like the Daytona and less universally appealing than the Day-Date, the Rolex Cellini is one of the brand’s most creative and underrated models.

Unlike Rolex Oyster watches, Rolex Cellini watches are incredibly diverse. The designs of their cases, bracelets, movements, and materials are extensive.
Following the redesign of the Cellini collection in 2017, Rolex introduced the Cellini Moonphase. Rolex Cellini Moonphase debuted at Baselworld 2017 as the first watch to feature a moonphase display since the 1950s.
Dates are displayed by a blue hand with a crescent moon tip pointing at the numbers. A small meteorite disc at 6 o’clock represents the moon, while a blue enamelled disc at 6 o’clock shows the current moon phase.
The Cellini Moonphase displays the date around the circumference of its dial via a crescent moon at the centre hand.
A meteorite pattern and a silver ring represent the full moon and new moon on the Cellini Moonphase’s white lacquer dial. Indicators at 12 o’clock on the subdial indicate the moon’s phases as the full and new moons rotate.
The bezel of Rolex Cellini stands true to Rolex’s heritage of adding a piece of distinction with the refined lugs, the smooth finish with the double bezel, one domed and another finely fluted.
Rolex innovated an in-house high-class pink gold alloy cast, known as 18 ct Everose gold. This is used to retain the looks of Rolex’s pink gold watches.

The Cellini honours the timeless elegance of traditional timepieces with a modern twist; the name is a tribute to the Italian Renaissance artist Benvenuto Cellini.
The Rolex Moonphase is a new milestone in the evolution of luxury watches, confirming the Cellini line’s position at the pinnacle of the world’s most prestigious timepieces. The exclusive display of the lunar cycle had been an idea to be materialised for decades — Rolex last produced timepieces with a lunar cycle in the 1950s. The Moonphase results from many years of research, innovation, prototype modelling, and endurance testing.
To ensure exceptional quality, all Rolex watches are meticulously handcrafted. Such high standards naturally limit Rolex production capacity, and demand for Rolex watches quite often exceeds this capacity.
As a result, the availability of specific models may be limited.
