Rolex Cellini Octagonal Pavé Factory Diamond Set ref.4652 from 1981

By the 1980s, Rolex began crafting exclusive, limited references, and the extraordinary Reference 4652 is a shining example of this era's rare craftsmanship. This watch stands out with a series of remarkable features, including a factory diamond-set center link bracelet and an elegant octagonal diamond set bezel. Only a select few examples of this reference have ever appeared on the market, with most showcasing lacquered dials. However, this is the only piece we've encountered boasting the exquisite factory pavé diamond dial, which harmonizes beautifully with the watch's refined aesthetics. Each diamond was carefully chosen and set by hand—an uncommon testament to artisanal skill, a rarity amid Rolex's otherwise highly automated production process.
