“Moonphase”
Rank #100 of 113 rated pieces in the Rolex Vault
Market range centered on the median of 6 recorded eBay sales in the last 12 months (thin data, treat as a guide).
Average market price for an example in excellent condition. Dashed line marks the us retail (2020).
The first Rolex moonphase since the 1950s, with an actual slice of meteorite as the moon. The best watch the Cellini line ever produced, and the only one collectors defend.
It still sells about 16 percent under its 2020 retail, because it's a Cellini. But unlike its siblings, scarcity is real: a short six-year run and genuine design merit give it a floor.
A sliver of actual meteorite rides the blue enamel moon disc, and the moonphase is accurate for 122 years before it drifts a day. It's the most romantic object Rolex has made in the modern era, wearing the least romantic nameplate.
The 1908 line's expansion keeps pulling eyes back toward Rolex dress watches, and every look rehabilitates this one further. The only Cellini with a real shot at 'future classic' status, priced today like a dead end.
Our verdict: D today with the best bull case of any F-or-D watch here. If any Cellini is ever rehabilitated by the market, it's this one.

Recorded eBay completed sales, logged at our last data refresh.
Recorded eBay sales from the last 12 months put the typical Rolex Cellini Moonphase 50535 at $22,400, with the middle half selling between $20,400 and $24,500 (6 sales). Condition, box and papers move the price within that range.
No. The typical sale of $22,400 is about 16% below the $26,750 retail (2020).
The Crown Index grades it C- (58/100) from real resale data, and today's call is watch. Middle-of-the-pack resale; fine to own, not one to buy expecting it to rise. Past prices are not a forecast.
