For sale is a stunning and rare Rolex Cellini Ref. 4080 2 in 18K white gold, dating to 1981. Based on its serial number (433*), this watch belongs to the first years of production of the reference, making it highly collectible.
The watch features a breathtaking blue vignette dial – bright blue in the center, gradually darkening toward the edges – and is set with three factory diamonds at 3, 6, and 9 o’clock. This combination of dial and stones is one of the most desirable configurations of the Cellini line. The elegant rectangular case remains unpolished, preserving its sharp edges and original factory finish.
It is powered by the manual-winding Rolex Calibre 1601, recently fully serviced by our Omega-certified in-house watchmaker in 09.2025. The watch comes fitted with a NOS, unworn Rolex alligator leather strap (fits up to 18 cm wrist) and the original acierinox Rolex buckle. Included is the original Rolex Cellini presentation box (code 50.00.08), delivered with this exact watch – a very rare find in such condition.
This Rolex Cellini Ref. 4080 2 combines timeless elegance, rarity, and historical importance. Suitable for both men and women, it is a perfect addition to any serious Rolex or vintage dress watch collection.

Founded in 1905 by Hans Wilsdorf and Alfred Davis in London, and now headquartered in Geneva, Switzerland, Rolex stands as the ultimate expression of prestige, innovation, and timeless elegance. Every Rolex timepiece is a masterpiece of Swiss precision — crafted from the finest materials and assembled with unrivaled attention to detail. More than just watches, Rolex creations are enduring symbols of excellence and success recognized across generations.
The Submariner, introduced in 1953, set the standard for professional diver’s watches with its unmatched robustness and iconic design. The Day-Date, unveiled in 1956, quickly became known as the “President’s Watch,” gracing the wrists of world leaders and visionaries. And the Cosmograph Daytona, born in 1963, captured the spirit of high performance and speed, forever linked to motorsport legend Paul Newman.
Owning a Rolex is more than owning a watch — it is joining a legacy of explorers, innovators, and achievers who dare to go further. A Rolex is a mark of accomplishment, a companion for life’s defining moments, and a timeless investment in excellence.
