Lot Essay

Named for the Benvenuto Cellini, the Italian master sculptor and goldsmith of the Renaissance age, the Cellini is the most classic and noble of all Rolex model families. Over the years, the Cellini has been presented in various case shapes and sizes but always in precious metals. The dressiest of all Rolex models, the Cellini wristwatches skipped the Oyster case construction synonymous with the brand’s watches and often focused on interesting angular and unconventional shapes and gem-set cases.

The present timepiece is a rare example of the reference 4652, as it carries the green Khanjar symbol on a burgundy lacquered dial and fitted with a white gold and diamond-set case. Prominently positioned on its dial, the Khanjar symbol, emblem of the Sultanate of Oman, was applied on timepieces ordered by the Sultan and later distributed as gifts to dignitaries or individuals close to His Majesty. Highly sought-after, such timepieces are highly collectible in today's market.
