Rolex - Cellini Ouro - 5109 - Unisex - 1980

Rolex Cellini, Reference 5109, a classic dress watch that embodies Rolex's discreet elegance, moving away from the robust design of the Oyster line's shapes

Technical and Aesthetic Characteristics
Case: Made in 18-karat yellow gold (case) and 19-karat for the bracelet with an approximate diameter of 27 mm and an ultra-thin profile (about 5.5 mm to 6 mm), ideal for classic or unisex men's wrists.
Dial "Jubilee": The standout feature of this piece is the ivory-colored dial with the "Jubilee" pattern (or "computer dial"), where the word "ROLEX" is repetitively engraved across the surface.
Markers and Hands: Features applied yellow gold Roman numerals and baton (or leaf) hands matching the case material.
Movement: Equipped with Caliber 1601, a high-precision manual-winding mechanical movement. This type of mechanism reinforces the traditional connection between the wearer and the machine.
Crystal: Scratch-resistant sapphire crystal, with a flat profile to preserve the elegance of the case.

Historical Context
The Cellini collection was named in homage to the Italian Renaissance artist and goldsmith Benvenuto Cellini. Unlike sports models, these watches do not use the water-resistant Oyster case, focusing exclusively on sophistication and the artistic work in precious metals.
This specific model, produced frequently from the late 1980s to the mid-1990s, is today highly valued in the collectors’ market for offering Rolex’s manufacturing quality and the prestige of solid gold in a minimalist and timeless format.
