Item No. 9798
$ 3,695.00
Today's offering showcases this very classic and uncommon ref. 3768 mens Rolex from the Cellini Collection. It is a seldom seen member of the vintage Cellini Collection whose diameter, while still not large, is just slightly larger than most of the other members.
Rolex designed the Cellini to be the preeminent symbol of elegance and performance. A premier dress watch, this Cellini has a timeless 18K gold case, silver dial, and high-grade handwound caliber 1600 movement.
It has all of its original parts and has just finished a true expertly done restoration. It presents in gorgeous condition - a 9.7 out of 10.
Its case presents as mint. All of its original markings on the back are still fully intact and both hallmarks on the lugs are perfectly crisp.
Its original dial has been meticulously restored - the printing could pass as Rolex factory done to the naked eye. Despite what the photos suggest, the dial is Rolex’s light color silver, not their dark silver. The color is best captured in the photo of the watch being worn. A Master Watchmaker has just overhauled the movement, which is clean.
It is running strong and true, keeping very accurate time.
For the finishing touch, it comes equipped with a brand new leather strap and Rolex style aftermarket buckle making it ready for immediate enjoyment.
Included with the purchase is a one-year C.O.T. warranty on the movement and its function, a custom printed Connoisseur of Time Certificate of Authenticity, and a new timing certificate.
Your watch is important to us, and we will take care of it for its lifetime. We provide the best after sale care in the business with an extremely experienced team of four Master Watchmakers all of whom each have over thirty-five years of experience and a large number of parts. One used to be the watchmaker for an authorized Rolex dealership and was given special training by Rolex at their Beverly Hills Service Center.
A more than half-century old Rolex that presents like new.
