2014 discontinued but acquired it at AD 2021 new/old stock with stickers and everything. Only Rolex I know of with transparent caseback. White gold, 72 hour power reserve, manual wind. No Cellini name on front dial.

Proof that you are a true Rolex collector.

Great watch, congrats! I love those. It’s so unique to have a manual winding Rolex with a display case back. And the engraving on the bridges looks so cool. Good find!

sportsfan0704 · 4 September 2021, 12:14 PM

So does this mean the watch was in the store for 7 years? I happen to think this is such a cool watch given how different it is from everything Rolex makes in so many ways.

arcampado · 4 September 2021, 12:14 PM

Congrats on yours! I love my YG Cellini Prince. It’s a true collector’s piece

kieselguhr · 4 September 2021, 12:16 PM

Beautiful, beautiful watch. The single most interesting Cellini model ever and the only rectangular, deco-style watch that even comes close to the Patek Philippe 5111 (my all-time favorite rectangular timepiece).

Thank you. Based on the 20s, 30s Rolex Prince.

Absolutely the coolest Cellini they ever made. I especially like the variant with the sunburst motif on the case sides.

TheDapperYank · 4 September 2021, 01:55 PM

Such a shame they don't do more display case backs. When Rolex does highly finished movements they REALLY do some fantastic work.

GradyPhilpott · 4 September 2021, 02:22 PM

Rolex should resurrect some of the previous Cellini watches, including the Prince.

It's such a beautiful watch with a respectable pedigree.

TswaneNguni · 4 September 2021, 03:05 PM

Best art deco design in watch world .

Its not for the "in" crowd ,its too unique .

2018 passed on a NOS YG at an AD .Was a mistake .

Master_Grogu · 4 September 2021, 04:38 PM

A very interesting watch indeed!

DCheeta · 4 September 2021, 05:26 PM

Also cool - it looks like it has paraflex shock absorption, which even the Submariners didn’t get until a year ago.

While I’m not sure I’d like wearing that much metal on a leather strap clasp, one must really admire that apparatus. Truly a thing of beauty and so much more interesting than any deployment or pin buckle.

WestCoastS · 5 September 2021, 07:53 AM

I really like these watches I might add one down the road as vintage model.

There already are vintage ones, that are the originals, and a hell of a bargain these days.

GMT Aviator · 5 September 2021, 09:56 AM

The Cellini line is so under appreciated.

For this, we should be thankful in these times.

Nice pick up, enjoy.

msg315 · 5 September 2021, 11:26 AM

bravo! big fan of cellini and the prince is so cool.

Watch This · 5 September 2021, 12:41 PM

Gorgeous timepiece

t65tampa · 5 September 2021, 01:04 PM

They are beautiful watches. Cool in that they are the only Rolex with a display case back. Each model’s movement featured decorations specific to the watch, matching dial and case styles. I had the yellow gold model a few years ago. It got more compliments from folks than any other watch I had.

Exactly!

And thanks all for posting!

These are so awesome! Manual wind, sapphire case back with lovely movement finishing is so out of left field for Rolex! Also love the Art Deco styling, such a great package overall.
