(Newswire.net — February 23, 2019) — Rolex is known worldwide for its aesthetics based on the profile of the Oyster box and a strategy associated with the concept of robustness, but also has in its catalog a line specially reserved for the most elegant occasions: the Cellini, whose latest model has a penchant very rare in the history of the Genevan house.
The Oyster round case and the Perpetual automatic mechanism have become the Rolex brand image from the second half of the 20th century until today, but the Genev house never forgets its past and occasionally presents surprising proposals that prove not be completely tied to a single product. In the middle of the last decade, he resurrected the rectangular Prince to bridge a geometric gap in his collection – so dominated by famous models derived from the Oyster Perpetual concept that the elegant line Cellini remained relegated to the background. In 2014, he completely renewed that same Cellini line to give it more prominence and offer fans a more classic alternative to more formal occasions … and beyond.
Based on automatic calibers, the new Rolex Cellini models are available exclusively in gold to accentuate your sophisticated personality; after a debut with three different models to provide 12 possible variants, the recent Moonphase of 2017 added something more to the Cellini line and, above all, to recover to the mark of the crown a popular celestial body seen in models of triple calendar in the beginning of the decade of 50 (and in the legendary references 6062 and 8171). After more than half a century without pulling on its lunar side, Rolex places the Earth’s satellite in great evidence on the Cellini Moonphase: the Moon rises proudly and in relief on a starry blue disc.
In short: the Cellini Moonphase in pink gold is a watch that transports all the charisma and all the quality of the geneva brand to a more traditional dimension of the high-watch.
Coronation of a star
Designed in gold, the Rolex logo appears applied at 12 o’clock to ‘reign’ on the white lacquer dial. The crown has always been the symbol of the Geneva brand and is highlighted in the Cellini line – to reinforce the sophisticated character of the brand’s most elegant line.
Bipartite Indicators
One of the aesthetic peculiarities of the Cellini line lies in the hour markers, represented by embossed gold rods that appear segmented by the minute scale. The visual effect is unique and contributes to the identity of the Cellini models, in particular the Moonphase.
Ribbed window
Of a very sober and distinctive appearance, the Cellini Moonphase presents an aesthetic connection to the typical elements of the brand that is much larger than can be seen at first glance. The exterior of the double bezel reveals a smoother variant of the famous corrugation present in many Oyster Perpetual models.
Pulse
With a diameter of 39 mm and a thin thickness, the Cellini models have a classic aesthetic that is very different from the functionalism of the robust Oyster Perpetual models. His aesthetic was developed with the well-known watchmaker Emmanuel Gueit; in the Moonini Cellini, the lunar disk stands out from a distance.
Analog date
The date of the Cellini Moonphase is presented from a tempered and tempered blue pointer, whose forked tip marks the corresponding day on a peripheral scale at the edge of the display. The remaining three hands (hours, minutes and seconds) are designed in 18 carat Everose rose gold to match the polished finish box.
Moon in meteorite
The full moon, crafted from meteorite metal, appears prominently on the blue enameled disk and filled with stars to accentuate the celestial spirit, while the new moon is outlined by a silver ring. The precision of the 3195 Moon phases’ disk is such that the engine only needs a correction day after 122 years elapsed; the adjustment is made from a button built into the flank of the carton.
