Step into the world of timeless craftsmanship with this authentic 1996 Rolex Cellini advertisement. Under the elegant headline "Five centuries ago people of distinction owned works of art by Cellini. They still can.", Rolex links its Cellini collection to the legacy of Benvenuto Cellini, the celebrated Renaissance goldsmith and sculptor. The close-up of a polished gold hand sweeping over the Cellini script makes this one of the most refined watch ads of its era.
This is an original page from a 1996 magazine, printed at a time when Rolex presented the Cellini line as its tribute to classic, dress-watch elegance. Over 25 years later, the print has kept its warm gold tones and clean typography, making it a true piece of horological history.
The advertisement shows the Rolex Cellini in 18ct gold with a white dial, black Roman numerals and a tan ostrich leather strap. As the ad itself puts it: "Each timepiece exquisitely fashioned. Each bracelet meticulously finished by hand."
The advertisement is framed in a sleek black aluminium frame measuring 40 x 30 cm, with a white passe-partout and protected by museum glass. The anti-reflective glass keeps the artwork vivid and undistorted while its UV protection preserves the colours for years to come.
This is a high-quality, authentic vintage advertisement, not a reproduction. It is carefully packed in bubble wrap for safe shipping, so it arrives in perfect condition. A rare find for watch lovers and collectors, and an elegant addition to any office, study or living room.
