About the Reference 4150:
While the original Cellini King and Queen Midas models of the 1970s are well known, they led to two later Midas lines produced until around the year 2000. The first, the Cellini “Midas First,” reused many of the same asymmetrical and rectangular cases from the original bracelet-mounted models, but were instead fitted to straps. The final line, simply called the Cellini “First,” included both strap and bracelet variants, which were all defined by their octagonal cases, with the 4150 being a strap variant.
Condition:
The case has been well preserved, remaining thick with even proportions, sharp well defined beveled edges, and crisp hallmarks. The only imperfection is a few faint hairlines on the brushed caseback, which were left untouched during service. The OEM alligator strap is unworn, and the solid gold buckle shows no imperfections. Overall, the Rolex is in near mint condition and is a well-preserved example of a rare reference 4150/8BIC Cellini First, which is also fresh from factory service.
