Record status

Individual type · partial

This item consists of a vintage Rolex Cellini wristwatch dial and manual wind movement, identified as reference model 1601. The component features a distinctive blue dial marked with the Rolex crown logo, the brand name 'Rolex Geneve', and the 'Cellini' model designation, along with 'Swiss' at the bottom.

The dial incorporates gold-tone hour indices and matching hands for hours and minutes. The face exhibits visible signs of wear around the perimeter, specifically surface damage or discoloration. The movement is described as being in working order at the time of cataloging. The dial measures approximately 26mm by 20mm. This assembly represents a specific mechanical and aesthetic component of a timepiece, stripped of its original case, and highlights the characteristic design elements of the Rolex Cellini line.

As a mechanical movement piece, it functions through manual winding rather than an automatic rotor system, adhering to the standard specifications for this particular Rolex reference model.
