Rolex Cellini Moonphase Features Patented Module, Meteorite Appliqué
At Baselworld 2017, Rolex was not only plumbing the depths with its 1,220-meter-water-resistant Sea-Dweller; it was also casting its gaze heavenward at the moon and stars with the newest model in its elegantly appointed Cellini collection, the Rolex Cellini Moonphase ? a watch that features a patented, astronomical moon-phase function, a meteorite-appliqué moon, and an Everose gold case.

The 39-mm case of the Rolex Cellini Moonphase is made from Everose gold, a proprietary alloy that mixes gold, copper, and a touch of platinum, and sports a polished finish. It features the double-domed, fluted bezel that is a hallmark of the Cellini collection, a domed, solid screw-down caseback; a domed sapphire crystal with nonreflective coating on both sides; and a screw-down crown for a water-resistance of 60 meters. Its white lacquered dial ? swept over by rose gold hands and punctuated by rose-gold hour appliqués ? opens up at the 6 o’clock position to reveal a blue enameled disk displaying the full moon (represented visually by a round fragment of rhodium-plated meteorite applied to the disk), the new moon (represented by a thin, silver ring), and a field of stars. The pointer at the 12 o’clock position on this subdial points tothe correct moon-phase as the two moons rotate through the lunar cycle. Rolex Cellini Moonphase disk CU
