About the Item

NAMED ONE OF WATCHPRO MAGAZINE’S “HOT 100” - THE TOP 100 INFLUENCERS OF THE U.S. WATCH INDUSTRY. HOW CAN WE SERVE YOU? We’re new to offering our carefully curated collection on 1stDibs, but we have sold over 10,000 fine watches and exceptionally served thousands of customers with a 5.0 star rating on other online sites. 1972 ROLEX CELLINI Vintage Mens Handwound Ref. 3806 TV Watch - 18K White Gold & Diamonds Gorgeous Restored Condition - Encrusted with Diamonds - 1 Year Warranty Today's offering showcases this Connoisseur of Time Certified Pre-Owned ref. 3806 "TV shaped" Rolex from the Cellini Collection. It presents virtually like a new Cellini. Our photos couldn't begin to do it justice! Rolex designed the Cellini to be the pre-eminent symbol of elegance and performance. A premier dress watch, this Cellini has an 18K white gold case, sky blue dial with 18K white gold coronet, 18K white gold markers, and high-grade handwound caliber 1601 movement. The entirety of the bezel and the tops of the lugs has been previously afterset encrusted with fiery brilliant diamonds by a jeweler. They are eye-clean and white and radiate. As a midsized mens watch it is well-suited for someone who doesn't have a large wrist. With the exception of the added diamonds, it has all of its original parts. It has just finished a true expertly done restoration and presents in gorgeous condition - a 9.7 out of 10. Our photos couldn't begin to capture its condition level and attractiveness. Its case presents as gorgeous mint. Despite what the photos seem to suggest, all of its original light markings are still fully intact. On the wrist, it presents like new. Its original Rolex dial has been meticulously custom refinished in a sky blue color - the printing could pass as Rolex factory done to the naked eye. Please inquire if you would like the blackening on the hands removed so they appear only white gold. As part of the restoration, a Master Watchmaker has just overhauled the movement. It is keeping very accurate time. For the finishing touch, we have equipped it with a brand new aftermarket genuine Teju lizard strap and aftermarket Rolex style buckle making it ready for immediate enjoyment. Included with the purchase is a one-year C.O.T. warranty on the movement and its function, a custom printed Connoisseur of Time Certificate of Authenticity, and a new timing certificate. Your watch is important to us, and we will take care of it for its lifetime. While Rolex does not service watches jeweler set with diamonds, we provide the best after sale care in the business with an extremely experienced team of four Master Watchmakers all of whom each have over thirty-five years of experience and a large number of parts. One used to be the watchmaker for an authorized Rolex dealership and was given special training by Rolex at their Beverly Hills Service Center.
