A 50519 this Cellini is a date feature watch. An elegant feature on the right hand side of the dial this is not your average date window. A complementary round dial in a matching white gold applique it shows all of the odd dates of the month with scripted Arabic numerals.

In the purest traditional style the round shaped watch comes in a classic 39 millimeter case.

A luxury timepiece made with every detail in mind.

Rolex gold cases

Starting off with the materials that they use. Not satisfied to hand over a crucial part of their materials selection process Rolex goes beyond using the fined gold that the world has. Further than that they actually have their very own foundry. Now not only do they use this foundry to craft the cases of the fine watches that make a Rolex. The luxury watch brand also has developed their own unique metal alloys. These as you can imagine are patented. The gold blended alloys make them more resistant. Gold is one very soft metal and thus even for fine watches a mixture must be made in order for the case and therefore the gold to be more resistant to scratching. One such gold that absolutely requires a unique mixture is white gold. Firstly because white gold is not a naturally occurring metal it is by its nature an alloy.

In order to achieve the glint and glimmer of shiny white gold we must mix pure gold with other metals. Something the Rolex foundry does better than almost any one else in the world. The combination of gold and steel as well as other fine metals creates a grayish color alloy result. This is when expert polishing and rhodium bathing truly make the white gold color of the time piece come to life. It is a smooth and bright surface that catches the eye. Still a classic style it is more subdued than the yellow gold cases of their counterpart. The sleek look of the white gold is perfect for this elegant and luxurious watch. It is stark contrast to the black dial. The one that has a trick or two up its sleeve too with a textured guilloche detailing radiating from the centre. More on that and other details.

The black guilloche dial

The black dial itself is an elegant piece of fine craftsmanship. With visible details and careful craftsmanship the result is a dazzling dial that sparkles to the eye. Embellished with a classic “Rayon flamme de la gloire” this is a dial detailing exclusive to the Rolex Cellini watches. Radiating from the centre of the dial the textured motif radiates mirroring the fluted first bezel tier. The accented dial features white gold applique stick hour markers as well as seconds markers within the inner part of the markers.

Further the date dial showing all of the odd days of the month show the days to come as well as the days gone by in the calendar month. An almost identical miniature dial within the dial the date feature is located at the three o’clock hour marker. Finally at the top of the dial we have the Rolex crown logo followed by the brand name and Geneve, the world’s Swiss watch making capital. At directly the opposite end of the dial we have the Cellini cursive collection name. Balanced and elegant this watch features only the classic functionalities of a luxury watch. Bearing witness to know how and tradition the dial comes in either the black color like this one or a white dial.

Since this particular case is in white gold the black dial helps to accentuate the metals shine. As well as the hour markers and date feature. Whereas a white dial might make readability a bit difficult. Simplicity and elegance are a signature feature of the Cellini Rolex watches. However with every bit of craftsmanship that you would expect from a Rolex there are delicate adornments as well. Beyond the dial which lies beneath scratch resistant sapphire as is the norm with Rolexes there is a two tier bezel.

The elegant two tier bezel

From the guilloche dial to the two tier bezel. The Cellini Rolex collection of watches is all about the detail. For the two tier bezel that is perfect. The first tier of the bezel is a domed and smooth polished white gold circle. Meanwhile the second tier is a fluted delicate distinction. Together the two of them add a depth and dimension to the watch itself. While the first tier of the bezel is domed it does not protrude from the watch. So you do not have to worry about excessive material. Again the Cellini collection is one of the most elegant and refined watches around.

Further the delicately fluted second tier is the perfect lead in for the fluted crown. Adjusted to be shaped almost like the base of a flower bud the crown sits snugly against the case. Meanwhile the upper outer edges of the crown radiate away from the case making it easy to manipulate and adjust. Not that you need to adjust it all that frequently since this watch features automatic movements. The textured fluting of the crown also makes it easy to grip. So although smaller than more modern or sporty watches this delicate detail on the 39 millimeter Cellini is easy to grasp and use.

Cellini Rolex collection

The Cellini Rolex collection fits comfortably. It is a light weight and extremely well engineered watch. So that it is neither heavy nor overly light. It has a substantial size at a classic 39 millimeters as well as an equally balanced weight. Further visually the watch is also balanced. It has an impeccable array of detailing stemming from the center of the guilloche dial to the edges of the second tier of the bezel. Finally the smooth swooping lugs and elegant choices in materials and color combinations make this a fine luxury time piece. An ideal night time watch it is a dress time piece adequate for events and dinners. The black alligator strap adds to the classic and traditional look and feel of this watch. High quality and finely made it is an ode to the Rolex know how and the controlled design of the brand.
