A ladies' Rolex Cellini, reference 3801, in 18-carat yellow gold with a silver dial and gold baton markers, wound by hand and fitted with a black leather strap.
The Piece
Rolex was founded in London in 1905 and moved to Geneva in 1919, and its Cellini line, named for the Florentine goldsmith, is the house's collection of slim dress watches in precious metal.
Reference 3801 is a small cushion-shaped watch in 18-carat yellow gold. The silver dial has a finely grained surface, slim gold baton markers, the Rolex crown and the Cellini name in script, and the movement is wound by hand. The strap is black leather, not made by Rolex, with the original gold-plated buckle.
The case measures 26 mm (1.02 in) by 30 mm (1.18 in) including the lugs, and the strap fits a wrist of about 13.5 to 17 cm (5.3 to 6.7 in). The dial shows slight deterioration. The watch was checked as running in Japan, and it comes in a box that is not from Rolex.
