Celebrate Renaissance artistry with this authentic 1985 Rolex Cellini Collection advertisement. Above the elegant title "The Cellini Collection", an ornate Renaissance jewel set with baroque pearls, enamel and gemstones sets the tone, a tribute to the legendary goldsmith Benvenuto Cellini.
This is an original magazine page from 1985. The ad tells how the Italian Renaissance "promoted a thirst for knowledge and a search for perfection in 15th-century Europe", and how Cellini perfected new methods of engraving, casting metal and setting precious stones. "Today, the spirit and skills of Cellini live on in our own collection of gold and jewelled watches. The Cellini Collection by Rolex of Geneva."
The advertisement shows two octagonal Rolex Cellini watches in 18ct gold: model 4652, set with 370 diamonds and a deep blue dial, and model 4350 with a polished bezel and lacquered markers on a gold bracelet. A beautiful example of 1980s Rolex dress-watch design.
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 crisp and undistorted while its UV protection preserves it for years to come.
This is a high-quality, authentic vintage advertisement, not a reproduction. As an original magazine page of around 40 years old, the paper has a warm aged tone and some text from the reverse side is faintly visible, natural marks of its authenticity. It is carefully packed in bubble wrap for safe shipping, so it arrives in perfect condition. A rare find for Rolex lovers, jewellery enthusiasts and watch collectors.
