About the Cellinium 5241/6:
The Cellinium model line was unveiled by Rolex in 2001 at Basel World and was produced exclusively in platinum, a first for the Cellini line, as no previous models had been made in platinum. The Cellinium line consisted of the reference 5240, which featured a 35mm case, and the present reference 5241/6 which was the first Cellini model to feature a 38mm case size. Produced in limited numbers during the 2000s due to the complex manufacturing process required for working with platinum, the Cellinium model line was discontinued after only 5 years of production around 2006. The present Cellinium reference 5241/6 truly presents an unparalleled value within the realm of neo-vintage Rolex, as its aesthetics are timeless and opulent, yet under the radar and discreet. With the reintroduction of platinum in the 1908 line, it is only a matter of time before these wonderful Cellinium models from the 2000s finally receive the attention they deserve, as it truly serves as a worthy alternative to some of the Patek Calatrava and Jules Audemars models from the late 1990s and early 2000s.
Condition:
The case has been preserved extremely well and shows no noticable signs of previous wear, retaining crisp well defined hallmarks on its caseback.
