(Credit: Jake&#8217;s Rolex Magazine)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2><b>The Rolex Cellini Time 50509<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Whereas the Submariner, Daytona, and Datejust need no introduction, Rolex has a less well-known collection of watches called Cellini. Named after the Italian Renaissance man Benvenuto Cellini, these watches are classified as Rolex\u2019s traditional dress watches and are not part of the Oyster Perpetual family. Unlike the robust Oyster Perpetual timepieces, the Cellini watches do not come equipped with the famed water-resistant Oyster case. These are elegant wristwatches suited for more formal affairs rather than adventures like diving, car racing, or mountain climbing. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Whilst the Cellini may not be as popular as its robust siblings, they are in fact superb watches made to the standards we\u2019ve come to expect from Rolex. President Obama\u2019s model is the Rolex Cellini Time ref. 50509\u2014part of the latest generation of Cellini watches that made their debut in 2014. The watch dons a 39mm 18k white gold case with slight fluting on the bezel, along with a white dial. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As a time-only watch, the Cellini Time ref. 50509 only includes the standard three-hands on the dial, powered by the same Caliber 3132 automatic movement found in the Oyster Perpetual 39 and Explorer 39 watches. The sword-shaped hour and minute hands are faceted and the long slender applique hour markers are interrupted by a minute track encircling the dial. Emphasizing the elegance of the watch is the classic black alligator strap with a matching 18k white gold buckle. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The white gold Rolex Cellini Time ref. 50509 retails for $15,200. That certainly isn\u2019t cheap, but it is substantially less than the $23,500 price tag of a white gold Day-Date 36 on a leather strap.<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_15695\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-15695\" style=\"width: 620px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-15695 size-full\" title=\"US Presidents seem to have a knack for Rolex.\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/image953790x.jpg\" alt=\"President Obama Rolex\" width=\"620\" height=\"350\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/image953790x.jpg 620w, https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/image953790x-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/image953790x-585x330.jpg 585w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 620px) 100vw, 620px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-15695\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">There have been many Presidents with Rolex watches.

President Lyndon B. Johnson famously wore a Rolex Day-Date (which eventually led to the \u201cPresident\u201d nickname of the watch) and President Reagan has been photographed wearing a stainless steel Rolex Datejust. President Kennedy was infamously gifted a yellow gold Rolex Day-Date by Marilyn Monroe, complete with an engraved message, but for obvious reasons, he did not keep it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Post-presidency, President Clinton was no longer shy about wearing his impressive luxury watch collection, which included a black PVD Rolex Submariner and a platinum Rolex Day-Date. Prior to taking office, President Trump has been spotted wearing a yellow gold Rolex Day-Date watch. And now, President Obama joins the list with his Rolex Cellini. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What do you think of the Rolex Cellini watch?
