In the years, this collection has been able to combine the best of Rolex’s experience and criteria for perfection with an approach that values the watchmaking heritage in its most timeless form. The lines of the Cellini model are sober and refined, the materials noble, the finishes luxurious, every detail is elaborated in compliance with the codes of watchmaking art. The perfect representation of these concepts, the reference 5071 here offered is an absolutely fascinating creation and a very rare specimen due to its almost unique configuration. The two body case with snap-on has been manufactured in yellow gold, with a very essential lay out that leaves no space to exaggerations. On the opposite site, the dial is incredible and epitome of glitz and prestige: it is embellished with stripes of dark mother-of-pearl, yellow-gold channels and lines of diamonds. Preserved in remarkable conditions, the watch shows deep hallmarks and engravings on the back where is also depicted the iconic Khanjar logo. Engraved and painted in red enamel, this logo means that the watch has been manufactured under the specific request of the Sultanate of Oman.
