As the watch market moves away from a focus on sport watches shifts into a dressier state in '23, the Rolex Cellini and Midas models are beginning to garner the attention they deserve. This particular Cellini however still feels under loved and we couldn't resist acquiring it for the relative value it provides, and as we know, platinum is reserved for only the most special watch models.

This time-only Rolex with "tuxedo" dial is the larger Cellini variant coming in at 38mm. It has some impressive heft with its solid 950 platinum case and feels a bit larger than an 38mm on wrist. Coming with it are the original Rolex leather strap and factory deployant, also made of platinum. We believe this is a great time to pick up precious metal watches and this neo-vintage gem is certainly not overplayed and remains fantastic condition.

Dial: No blemishes to note of under magnification. Bezel: Minimal wear. Hands: No issues. Case: Very sharp and appears unpolished with crisp hallmarks. The lugs are thick and even. Light signs of use. Correct signed crown. Bracelet: Rolex strap. Crystal: Clear. Accessories: Factory Rolex Deployant in platinum. The movement is running well on our timegrapher and comes with our 1-year mechanical warranty.

Year/era: 2001 Reference: 5241 Serial: K68XXXX Dimensions: 38mm wide, 20mm lug width. Movement: Manual wind Rolex caliber.
