Notes: ROLEX, CELLINI, REF. 3808 WITH MATCHING BRACELET, WHITE GOLD A fine, extremely rare and heavy, manual wind 18k white gold wristwatch with its matching 18k white gold bracelet (signed CB Carl Bucherer).
Many of the more intricate bracelets and Cellini creations were manufactured and signed by Carl Bucherer (CB) as their workshops were used to working with jewellery pieces. Never seen at auction before, this extremely rare set made in full white gold was more than likely used as a show/display piece as the case number is absent but rather replaced by internal stock numbers (407.07.667) that are stamped on both pieces. While exact production numbers are not known, it is more than likely than no more than a few pieces were made, at most.
