Today's offering showcases this gorgeous ref. 3805 "TV shaped" 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 an 18K white gold case, Tiffany & Co. robin's egg blue dial with 18K white gold markers, and high-grade handwound caliber 1600 movement.
It has just finished a true expertly done restoration - it presents in gorgeous condition - a 9.6 out of 10.
The bracelet which is integrated into the case, is signed Rolex but appears to have been a later aftermarket addition done most likely in silver or perhaps in low carat gold. The rest of the watch is fully Rolex.
Its case presents as mint with all of its original markings lightly intact. Its original Rolex dial has been meticulously custom 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. Photos of the inside available upon request.
For the finishing touch it has been carefully detailed making it ready for immediate enjoyment.
Included with the purchase is a one-year C.O.T. international warranty on the movement and its function, a full-page custom printed Connoisseur of Time Certificate of Authenticity, and a new timing certificate.
A nearly half-century old Cellini that presents like new!
