Back in the early ’70s, Rolex already had the Submariner, GMT-Master, and Daytona doing the heavy lifting and building that tough, tool-watch reputation. The Cellini line was kind of the opposite. Slim, elegant, and clearly leaning into old-school Italian style (the name comes from Renaissance artist Benvenuto Cellini). These weren’t watches for diving or flying, they were made for dinner jackets, gold rings, and that quiet, effortless kind of confidence.
