Description

An unusual and attractive, Cellini, cushion-shaped wristwatch in yellow gold, with champagne Roman numbers dial, reference 3634.

Model Cellini Reference 3634 Case Material Yellow gold Bracelet Material Yellow gold Rolex bracelet, approximate length 192mm Year 1966 Movement Manual, cal. 1600, 19 jewels Case N° 1'452'585 Dimensions 29mm width x 29mm length Signed Case, dial and movement The Rolex Cellini is typically known for its classic round design, symbolizing refined elegance and timeless sophistication. However, this particular model stands out as a striking departure from the traditional design, boasting a special cushion-shaped case and an integrated bracelet that immediately commands attention. Introduced during a period of experimentation in Rolex’s design portfolio, this reference is an exceptional example of the brand’s commitment to innovation within its dress watch collection during the ’60s. Unlike the more common Cellini models, which typically feature smooth, simple lines, this watch showcases an intricately textured bracelet, a rare detail that elevates its aesthetic appeal. The case, forged in solid 18k yellow gold, is perfectly matched with the gold-tone bracelet, offering a seamless, integrated look that exudes luxury. Despite being an outlier in the Cellini collection, it still retains the brand’s hallmark attention to detail, as seen in the finely crafted champagne dial and precise Roman numeral markers, giving it a distinguished vintage charm. The watch is in remarkable condition, with the serial numbers and Rolex crown engraving still clearly visible on the back of the case, a testament to its great preservation over the years.
