The Rolex Cellini reference 4017 stands out as a bold statement of design from a brand most often associated with professional and sport watches. Far removed from the utilitarian DNA of the Submariner or the GMT-Master, the Cellini collection embraces elegance, innovation, and sartorial sophistication. This particular model, crafted in white gold, is distinguished by its daring asymmetrical case — an architectural gesture that perfectly captures the spirit of 1970s design experimentation. Despite its avant-garde form, the watch remains unmistakably refined, with a minimalist silvered dial, applied hour markers, and a beautifully preserved case retaining crisp hallmarks and sharp lines. Far from being a reinterpretation of the past, this Cellini is a celebration of artistic watchmaking, where form and proportion take center stage. A rare and compelling offering, this reference 4017 is a piece of sculptural design from Rolex’s most creative era.
