Very cool. I’d be interested on the reference for that also. It’s interesting how Rolex treats the Cellini line as a separate brand.

For those of you curious about details of this particular watch: reference no. 3830, year 1972, 31x36x5mm, 18k WG, 19 jeweled - caliber 1600, unfortunately it's only dust proof though, not that I'd be trying to get water on it. Cheers.

That's very beautiful. I'm always surprised when I see these older Cellini's. There's such a variety of models.
