A guide for this piece: about $534, based on the 10% US charge on the declared value of goods made in Japan.
The final figure is set by US Customs and depends on where the piece was made and the kind of object it is. Many antiques over a century old carry no ordinary duty; most jewellery and leather goods add a single-digit rate.
With EMS, any charge is collected by your postal service on delivery. For pieces of significant value we can often arrange duties prepaid before dispatch.

A blue dial sits inside the cushion-shaped case of this Rolex Cellini4048, with a broad, softly curved outline.
The Piece
It is K18 white gold, hand-wound calibre 1600 and a steel buckle, so the case material is not transferred to the fastening. Its blue strap is aftermarket leather. Dial cracks, dust and age-related damage are part of the condition, not a decorative finish or indication of harmlessness. Width is 30 mm excluding the crown, with 17 mm lugs and about 19 cm wrist fit.
