Since it was first introduced in Baselworld 2017, i fell straight in love with this piece.. and after a year, i finally got my hands on this.. unique Rolex that many say doesn't look like a Rolex..
May i present, Rolex Cellini Moonphase!

Lets start off with the package.. it comes with the standard green Rolex box, but, its different from the other Cellini models, where the others come in a flatter and longer box, but this is the standard one like most of other Rolex series..

The case comes with Rolesor, a patented Rolex 18kt rosegold, polished on all ends, has the double bezel (i.e. smooth and fluted) and of course, the crowned crown. It measures 39mm in diameter, and doesn't wears thick, though, i didn't measure the height.. its probably like the 3135 movement Datejust II.. like most modern Rolexes, it has a solid caseback..

Again, Rolex's crown is like a dip in the box, you'll never know if you can ever get the upright or any position you prefer.. in my case, its a 180°..
The dial comes well decorated, with lacquered white and 18kt indexes and hands, a blue cresent hand for date that is along the dial and an enamel blue subdial.. the subdial, which is the main attraction of this watch, is the moonphase dial, where there is a pointer hand at 12 o'clock with a silver ring for New Moon and a real piece of meteorite for the Fullmoon.. being an enamel decorated dial with a real meteorite, each Cellini Moonphase is slightly different from each other, making it unique in a sense.. the moonphase can be adjusted by pressing the... "adjuster" at 8 o'clock.. and guess what, the pusher is made of gold itself..

Powered inside this masterpiece is the manufacture 3195 movement, with approximate 48h power reserve.. Rolex on top of that, guarantees the variance of +/- 2.0s / day for 5 years..
The watch comes equiped with a 20mm width brown aligator leather strap and my favourite, a 16mm clasps, called Crown clasps..

Many other blogs have written on this piece, saying this is a comeback of the moonphase after almost 70 years.. well, overall, i can just say, its a real beauty and a real feel wearing it.. and i meant that figuratively, as the watch is kind of heavy, perhaps due to the pure solid gold case and back..

A Rolex that isn't so Rolex?
True, A Rolex that resembled Patek Philippe, I mean Rolex should make more watches in this genre, I just love it.
-
That’s the best looking Cellini by far and it’ll be perfect if it’s case back is transparent.

This is a beautiful choice. If only could admire the movement. But I guess the plus is you get Rolex's renown durability and long warranty - and besides the dial is something worth staring at for long periods of time.
Wear it well!

-
Whoa ... what a beauty!! Congrats !!
Indeed a great moon phase.
-
What was the buying process like? Long wait or just walk in and pick up?
I think it is a magnificent watch that separates the true watch lovers from people that just buy into the hype. Congratulations!
-
I'd choose this anytime over the more overtly obvious Rolexes. In a room, peeps would be 2nd, 3rd and 4th guessing what it is, and that's the fun bit. Great purchase, well chosen :thumbsup:
-
Looks amazing ! Often an overlooked series that only the real enthusiast would really appreciate. Great purchase!
-
Unconventional Rolex indeed but a beauty nonetheless. The moonphase is truly a sight to behold not to mention the fact that it's almost impossible to acquire a Rolex (maybe apart from OPs) even if you have the $$ so congrats on your purchase. Beauty!
-
Absolutely stunning piece, i would buy this over a submariner that everyone have one in thier wrist.
-
Looks a lot like a Patek calavatra
-
Woah, didn't know that Rolex still makes pieces like this. Thanks for the review.
