The ref. 50535 is the most technically ambitious Cellini in the current lineup. A working moon phase at 6 o’clock shows the moon against a blue enamel-style sky, while a pointer date tracks the calendar around the dial perimeter. It is the Cellini for collectors who want complication without complexity.

The 50535 Up Close: Case, Dial and Bracelet
At 39mm in Everose gold plating, the Moonphase wears identically to its Cellini Time and Date siblings — the complication adds no extra bulk. The fluted double bezel continues the collection’s architectural language, connecting this piece visually to the broader Cellini family.
The dial divides into three visual zones: the black lacquered main surface, the blue enamel moon phase aperture at 6 o’clock housing the meteorite disc, and the outer date track read by a slender Everose pointer. Stars on the enamel sky field surrounding the moon add a celestial dimension absent from any other Rolex.
A black alligator strap and concealed Everose gold-plated deployant clasp keep the wrist presence refined and formal.
Movement Options: Swiss vs Japanese
Two automatic movements support the moon phase and pointer date complications:
- Swiss Automatic — 28,800 vph with about 70 hours of power reserve. The moon phase works.
- Japanese Automatic (Miyota) — 21,600 vph with about 40 hours of reserve. Moon phase and date functions operate identically, with accessible servicing worldwide.
Both calibers feature hacking seconds and hand-winding for convenient power management.
