Lot Essay

Popular in the mid to late 20th century in the watch industry, and manufactured in very small numbers by Rolex, the present Rolex Cellini reference 3612 is a highly prized coin watch by astute collectors. The watch is concealed within a 20 dollar U.S. coin from 1904. The timepiece has a hidden button on the side at 3 o'clock to open the face and pop out the small internal watch.
