This is an exceptional ladies’ Rolex Cellini Orchid reference 3466 from 1986, crafted entirely in 18k yellow gold and adorned with original Rolex factory-set diamonds around the bezel. The watch is new old stock, a true safe queen that has never been worn, making it one of the rarest and most pristine examples of its kind. Its elegant and unique case design is paired with a gold dial featuring a diamond-cut pattern that continues seamlessly into the bracelet. At 20 mm wide (21 mm including the crown) and 25 mm in length, it sits perfectly on the wrist, combining refinement and presence.

Case, Dial, and Bracelet

The 18k gold case shines as it did the day it left the factory, with factory diamonds sparkling around the bezel. The gold dial is flawless, carrying the same intricate pattern that is echoed in the matching bracelet texture. This integrated gold bracelet is original and fits up to approximately 6.25 inches. Because the watch is new old stock, there is virtually no wear on the bracelet, clasp, or case. a condition that is almost impossible to find today.

Full Set and Military PX Provenance

This watch is offered as a complete set, including its original Rolex box, guarantee papers, red Rolex chronometer seal, blue Rolex tag, blue leather Rolex wallet, and the original Rolex booklet. It was originally purchased through a military base store, an interesting and charming detail that adds to its history. While military provenance typically adds significant value to men’s watches, it may one day become equally appreciated in women’s collecting circles, especially as more women are beginning to collect vintage watches seriously.

Service

Although this watch has never been worn, it was recently fully serviced to ensure perfect running condition. The movement was carefully disassembled, cleaned, lubricated, and reassembled. The bracelet remains tight, and the watch looks exactly as it would have looked in a Rolex boutique in 1986.

My Thoughts

This Rolex Cellini Orchid reference 3466 is far more than a ladies’ jewelry watch. it is a perfectly preserved piece of Rolex history. Its combination of factory diamonds, unique matching dial and bracelet pattern, and new old stock condition make it one of the most collectible examples of this model. It is extremely rare to find one that comes with its full set, untouched and unworn for decades.

From the perspective of someone who has spent years immersed in vintage watches, this is the type of piece you acquire not just to wear but to admire and preserve. It is elegant enough for a black-tie evening, but its untouched condition also makes it a future heirloom. With women’s vintage watch collecting rapidly gaining attention, this is a small and refined treasure that stands out as one of the finest examples available anywhere. given its rarity and completeness, could prove to be a very smart investment for the future.
