About the Cellini
Browse 16 super clone Rolex Cellini dress watch references from both eras of a line Rolex made from 1968 to 2023. Slim vintage references in 25mm and 26mm to the modern 50525 and 50535 in 39mm. Time-only displays, lacquered black or white dials, leather straps, and the gold-finish cases that make the Cellini Rolex's only true dress watch. A Japanese Miyota automatic drives the $359 version, and $999 buys the same dress watch with a Swiss ETA-clone caliber.
Renaissance Refinement
While Rolex is synonymous with steel sports watches, the Cellini collection tells a different story. Named after the 16th-century Florentine sculptor and goldsmith Benvenuto Cellini. Line was launched in 1968 and represented Rolex's dedication to classical watchmaking. Thin cases, clean dials, leather straps, the art of restraint. The Cellini is the Rolex you wear with a tuxedo, a three-piece suit, or a wedding band. Never with a wetsuit. Rolex closed the Cellini line in 2023, when the Perpetual 1908 took its place as the brand's dress watch.
Vintage Cellini era (1960s through the 2000s) is where most collectors live. References in the 4xxx, 5xxx, 6xxx, and 016xxx series — including 016797, 016798, 016801, 016807 — feature slim hand-wind movements, 25mm to 32mm cases for the dressy Lady Cellini, and 38mm to 40mm for the men's references. Pure dress watches. No rotating bezel, no date complication, no luminous markers, no Cyclops. Just gold, hands, and a clean dial. Most vintage Cellinis came on a padded leather strap with a deployant clasp.
Modern Cellini era (2014 to 2023) reimagined the line for contemporary tastes with the 39mm Cellini Time (50505, 50509), Date (50515, 50519), Dual Time (50525, 50529) and Moonphase (50535). Modern Cellini introduced an automatic movement, a slightly thicker case for the rotor, and a distinctive double bezel — a domed outer ring paired with a polished or fluted inner ring. Dial language stayed pure: lacquered black, white, or silver, with elegant index markers and Roman numerals on some references. Worn on a brown or black alligator-style leather strap. The modern Cellini remained the only Rolex you would wear to a black-tie event.
Our super clone Cellini captures both eras. Vintage references use the original slim case proportions, lacquered dial finishes, and leather strap presentation that defines pre-2014 Cellini. Modern references include the 39mm cases with the double bezel and the cleaner sunburst dial finish. The gold-tone references use a gold-plated finish over the case. Genuine Cellini was always solid 18K gold or platinum. At this price the plating is high-quality, won't tarnish under normal wear, and matches the genuine yellow, rose, or white gold visual exactly. Whichever movement you choose, Japanese Miyota or Swiss ETA-clone, the watch stays time-only, mirroring the Cellini's deliberately uncomplicated identity.

Leather Strap
Padded alligator-style leather strap with deployant or pin buckle. The perfect dress-watch complement, never a metal bracelet.
Cellini Super Clone: Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Rolex Cellini really a Rolex?
Yes. Cellini was an official Rolex collection from 1968, named after the Renaissance Florentine goldsmith Benvenuto Cellini. It was the part of the Rolex catalog that didn't fit the sports-watch mold most people associate with the brand. No Oyster case, no rotating bezel, no luminous dial, no metal bracelet. Just a slim gold case on a leather strap. It stayed Rolex's dress-watch line for 55 years, until the Perpetual 1908 collection replaced it in 2023.
What's the difference between vintage and modern Rolex Cellini?
Vintage Cellini era (1960s-2000s) uses references like 016797-016807, with slim hand-wind movements, 25mm-32mm cases for the Lady Cellini, 38mm-40mm for the men's references. Pure traditional dress watches. Modern Cellini era (2014-2023) introduced the 39mm references 50505 to 50535 with automatic movements, a distinctive double bezel (domed outer ring plus polished or fluted inner ring), and a slightly thicker case to house the rotor. Both eras share the leather strap presentation.
Why was the Rolex Cellini discontinued?
Rolex discontinued the Cellini line in 2023 and launched the Perpetual 1908 collection in its place, a similar dress-watch concept under a different name. Bob's Watches puts the decision down to Rolex streamlining its catalog. Since then a Cellini comes from one of two places: a second-hand sale, or a super clone catalog like ours, which still lists the modern 39mm references.
Is the gold on the Cellini super clone real?
No. Our gold-tone Cellini super clones use a premium gold-plated finish over the case, not solid 18K gold. That is what makes $359 possible. A genuine solid-gold Cellini starts around $15,000 used. Plating we use is high-quality, won't tarnish under normal daily wear, visually matches the genuine yellow, rose, or white gold appearance. Cellini's design — small case, leather strap, no exposed steel — is actually one of the most plate-friendly Rolex collections because there are fewer high-wear metal surfaces.
What sizes does the Cellini come in?
Three case sizes in our catalog. Vintage Lady Cellini references come in 25mm and 26mm — true dress-watch dimensions for women's wrists. Modern Cellini references introduced in 2014 are 39mm. The catalog includes the vintage 5310 and 6621 and the modern 50505, 50509, 50515, 50519, 50525, 50529 and 50535. Pick by era preference and wrist size.
Why does the Cellini look so different from other Rolex watches?
Because it was designed to be different. While the Submariner, Datejust, and GMT-Master are sports and tool watches built around the Oyster case (1926) and Perpetual rotor (1931), the Cellini was Rolex's classical-watchmaking statement. Thin case, clean dial, leather strap, no waterproofing claims, no rotating bezel, no Cyclops magnifier. It's the part of the Rolex catalog you wear with a tuxedo or formal suit, never with a wetsuit. Lack of an Oyster case means it's not waterproof beyond a few meters, but that's the trade-off for dress-watch slimness.
