Rolex Cellini Time
Any love for this reference (50505)? I’m thinking about adding a dress watch to my lineup. I currently have a white dial milgauss (116400), a 42mm black dial explorer 2 (216570), and a black dial ceramic sub in yellow gold (116618ln). With that said, I’m interested in the white dial Cellini time in rose gold. I like the simplicity of this Cellini model over the date, dual time, or moon phase. What are your thoughts about this piece? Anyone own one and if so please share some wrist shots. Anyone have a suggestion for a competitor’s piece? The Rolex is around 15k msrp, but I’m seeing them for sale grey market/used from around 8k-10k. They seem like a good value at 10k and below.Thanks in advance!
