Rolex Cellini made a comeback, in 2014 with some dashing models, at Baselworld. This year some were expecting more Cellini models to launch with new complications and new features. But before new complications are introduced on a Rolex Cellini, as Rolex tradition goes, there has to be a diamond version of the watch, first. So here it is the Rolex Cellini with diamonds for the new Rolex Cellini 2015 models.
At Baselworld 2015, Rolex showed Rolex Cellini with diamonds in 39mm size models. The classic dress watch will be available in 18c white gold or Everose gold metals. The new Rolex Cellini with diamonds comes in two bezel styles, double bezel and single bezel.
Rolex Cellini with dual bezel is decorated with flutes on the outer layer, and the inner layer bezel is studded with 96 diamonds. On the dial face, there are more diamonds, placed on the tip of 11 hour markers.
The Rolex Cellini diamond model with single bezel is spared with the diamond bling on dial face. Instead, the applique hour markers are very neatly placed on both sides of the minute track. This track, as you will notice from the picture below, has been moved towards centre of dial, closer to the tips of hands. Faceted and shaped like two-edged swords, the hands count off each second, each minute and each hour with the full precision of the self-winding chronometer. Bezel of this Rolex Cellini diamond watch is embellished with 62 diamonds. These models also feature the new pink or rhodium dials with a sunray finish and elongated applique hour markers. Absolutely delicious combination with everose gold.
