1975 Cellini Blue Vignette Dial

An unusual Rolex Cellini dress watch from circa 1975, reference 4082, crafted entirely in 18k white gold. Its broad cushion-shaped case frames a vivid blue vignette dial, transitioning from a rich blue center to nearly black at the edges.

The brushed bezel features deeply engraved minute divisions, with longer markers at five-minute intervals. The dial is deliberately minimal, displaying an applied Rolex coronet, white Rolex and Cellini signatures, and slender silver-tone dauphine hands. Together, the contrasting textures and saturated dial give this Cellini a particularly distinctive appearance.

The substantial integrated 18k white gold bracelet carries a fine linear texture across its upper surface, while the underside reveals an intricate woven construction. A jewellery clasp bearing the Rolex coronet completes the bracelet. Powered by Rolex's caliber 1600 manual-wind movement, this is a striking departure from the more conventional Cellini designs of the period.
