Cellini Date Everose / Silver / Alligator

In Context

At 39 mm it sits just under the modern norm — the band that suits the widest spread of wrists. At 12 mm it is a tall case, and it will catch on a cuff. The case back is closed, so the movement stays out of sight, and the sapphire crystal will resist everything short of deliberate abuse. 50 m covers rain and hand-washing comfortably; it is not a watch to swim in.

The movement winds itself from the motion of your wrist. 48 hours of reserve is enough to set it down on Friday evening and find it still running on Monday. At 28,800 vph the seconds hand advances 8 times a second.

50515-0009 is one of 4 executions of the 50515 base reference. Underneath they are the same watch; what separates this one is a silver guilloche dial and a rose gold case.

Calibre 3165 is a self-winding mechanical movement entirely developed and manufactured by Rolex. It features a Parachrom hairspring and Paraflex shock absorbers, offering greater resistance to shocks and to extreme conditions. Like all Rolex Perpetual movements, the 3165 is a certified Swiss chronometer, a designation reserved for high-precision watches that have successfully passed the Swiss Official Chronometer Testing Institute (COSC) tests. Its architecture, in common with all Oyster watch movements, makes it singularly reliable. Unusual for Rolex, the date on the caliber 3165 is displayed through a subdial at 3 o'clock.

9 other watches in the library run the Rolex 3165.
