Today's offering showcases this very classic and early ref. 3601 mens Rolex from the Cellini Collection.

Rolex designed the Cellini to be the preeminent symbol of elegance and performance. A premier dress watch, this Cellini has a timeless 18K white gold case, classic silver dial, and high-grade handwound caliber 1600 movement.

As a midsized mens watch it is well-suited for someone who doesn't have a large wrist.

It has fully Rolex parts and presents in gorgeous condition - a 9.7 out of 10. Our photos couldn't begin to do it justice!

Its case presents as mint. Despite what the photos seems to suggest the original markings on the back are fully intact. And the two hallmarks on the lugs are very crisp. Its original Rolex dial has been meticulously refinished - the printing could pass as Rolex factory done to the naked eye.

A Master Watchmaker has just overhauled the movement, which is quite pristine. It is 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.

A more half-century old Cellini that presents like new!
