1969 Rolex Cellini Bark Finish | Ref. 3714 | 18Kt White Gold | Complete Full Set: Box, Rolex Guarantee, Buckle, Original sale Receipt
€4.800,00
This Rolex is a beautifully refined example of the brand’s quieter, more sophisticated side. Produced in the late 1960s, the reference 3714 brings together elegant design and meticulous craftsmanship in a slim tonneau-shaped case rendered in 18k white gold. It’s understated at first glance, yet full of subtle details that reveal Rolex at its most thoughtful.
The manual-wind Caliber 1600 keeps things delightfully traditional, reminding us of a time when Rolex took just as much pride in its dress watches as in its tool-watch icons. The case features the rare and highly sought-after bark finish, beautifully preserved here, adding texture and personality without sacrificing restraint. On the wrist, the brushed center dial catches light in soft, shifting tones, one of those small pleasures only vintage brings.
Even the finishing touches speak volumes: an applied Rolex crown on the caseback, the kind of detail that tells you nothing about this watch was taken lightly.
The 3714 may not be the loudest Rolex, but for collectors who appreciate nuance, craft, and quiet elegance, it’s one of the most compelling.
CONDITION
This piece is in great condition, sharp and unpolished, retaining all its lines. The brushed dial is in good shape with a few hairlines and some aging but overall in great shape.
This example comes as a full set, something exceptionally rare for a vintage watch. It includes its original box, Rolex certificate, buckle, the original store sales receipt, a cleaning cloth, and a new handmade alligator strap, an unusually complete ensemble that elevates the watch from a beautiful vintage piece to a true collector’s find.
