1995 Rolex Cellini 5112 – White Anniversary Roman Dial

Details

Classic Cellini, with a defining and uncommon detail

This is the kind of Rolex you buy because you appreciate taste and proportion, not because you want people to notice the crown. What separates this example from the majority of Cellinis is the white anniversary Roman-marker dial — a configuration produced in far lower numbers than standard Roman or baton layouts, and one that quietly elevates the watch without changing its intent.

Why this one works

The Cellini represents Rolex stepping away from sport and into pure dress watch territory: precious metal cases, restrained proportions, and design choices that feel tailored rather than rugged. The Ref. 5112/8 leans fully into that identity, and the anniversary Roman dial plays a big role in that balance.

The dial adds structure and character without turning the watch into a novelty. It’s distinctive, but still unmistakably Cellini — exactly the kind of detail collectors look for when they want something just a step removed from the standard offering.

Preserved, with intention

Overall condition is strong and unpolished, with wear consistent with age and light oxidation on the case that suits the watch rather than detracting from it. The dial remains in excellent shape, retaining its clarity and balance, and the watch is fully functional, keeping great time.

Original papers and a service card are included. The watch is fitted with a brown leather strap and buckle in excellent condition, completing the presentation cleanly.

A proper dress Rolex

If you want a gold Rolex that feels refined rather than loud, this is it. A classic Cellini with a rarer anniversary dial, honest preservation, and the kind of easy elegance that doesn’t chase attention, just quietly earns it.

History

The Cellini line — named after Renaissance goldsmith and sculptor Benvenuto Cellini — is Rolex's dress watch offering, and it operates on entirely different logic than the sport and tool watches the brand is famous for. No date window, no rotating bezel, no crown guards. Just case, dial, and movement.

Introduced in the late 1960s, Cellini watches are exclusively 18-karat gold and are powered by manual-wind movements. The collection covers an extraordinary range of case shapes across its history: round, oval, rectangular, cushion, asymmetric, and the distinctive Cestello oval — all sharing a commitment to slim proportions and refined finishing that stands apart from anything else in the Rolex catalog.

References span from the early 3800-series oval cases of the late 1960s and early 1970s through the square 4233 Danaos of the late 1990s and early 2000s. Dials range from brushed champagne and silver sunburst to red and blue vignette, white Arabic, and foil patterns that no longer exist in current production. For collectors who want Rolex craftsmanship without the sport-watch aesthetic, Cellini is the answer — and it remains one of the most underappreciated categories in the entire vintage Rolex universe.
