1966 Rolex Cellini Vintage Mens Handwound Larger Ref. 3602 Watch - 18K White Gold

Rolex

Item No. 8642

Today's offering showcases this gorgeous and very classic ref. 3602 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, royal blue dial with gilt printing, and high-grade handwound caliber 1600 movement.

It is an uncommon reference that, while not a large watch, is pleasingly larger than the vast majority of the similar Cellini watches made in the era and has a 33mm diameter. While we have owned many dozens of Cellini's from the era, this is the first 3602 we have ever owned.

It has 100% Rolex parts and has just finished a true expertly done restoration. It presents in gorgeous condition - a 9.7 out of 10. Our photos couldn't begin to do it justice!

Its case presents as mint. Its original dial has been meticulously restored - the printing could pass as Rolex factory done to the naked eye. A Master Watchmaker has just overhauled the movement, which is near pristine. It continues to run true, keeping extremely accurate time on par with a new Cellini in our testing position.

For the finishing touch we have equipped it 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 than half-century old Cellini that presents like new!
