Rolex Cellini Moonphase 50535-0002 Super Clone (39mm Everose Gold White Lacquer Dial)

The VS Factory Cellini Moonphase 50535-0002 is the only modern Rolex with a moonphase complication, launched at Baselworld 2017 as the dress watch flagship of the Cellini line. This super clone carries the 39mm Everose gold-tone case, the white lacquer dial, and the blue enamel moonphase aperture at 6 o’clock with a meteorite full-moon disc, all finished within tight tolerance of the genuine $26,750 reference.

Detailed features

Case, crown and crystal

The 39mm Everose gold-tone case measures 11.4mm thick and is built on a 904L stainless steel core with high-grade Everose PVD for color retention and corrosion resistance. The double-bezel architecture separates the Cellini Moonphase from every Oyster-cased Rolex, framing the dial with a polished domed inner bezel set against a slightly stepped outer bezel. The 5-axis CNC case profile holds the original Cellini proportions at sub-millimeter tolerance, with a 46mm lug-to-lug measurement that keeps the watch flush under a shirt cuff.

Case geometry and finishing

The case finishing follows the Cellini dress watch grammar, which contrasts with the brand’s professional sport models. Polished surfaces dominate the case flanks and the double bezel, while brushed accents run along the lug edges for tonal depth. The fluted Rolex-signed crown screws down against the case for 50 meters of water resistance, and the slim 11.4mm height keeps the watch wearable under formal cuffs.

Sapphire crystal and caseback

The watch uses anti-reflective sapphire crystal that sits flush with the bezel in the soft domed profile of the genuine reference. The solid Everose-tone screw-down caseback shows engraved Cellini Moonphase script around its outer ring and conceals the Swiss-grade clone movement. The proportions sit well on 6.5-inch to 8-inch wrists.

White lacquer dial and applied Everose gold markers

The white lacquer dial is the defining surface of the 50535-0002, and this super clone matches the cream-white tone, the high-gloss finish, and the dimensional depth of the genuine reference. Applied Everose gold-tone faceted hour markers ring the dial in 11 positions, with the Rolex crown logo at 12 o’clock and the Cellini wordmark printed in fine type below. Faceted leaf-shaped Everose gold-tone hands show the hours and minutes against the white field.

Pointer date and sun-tipped hand

A printed pointer-date track circles the dial periphery with 31 black numerals at single-day intervals. The blued steel-tone pointer-date hand carries a small sun-and-crescent tip that sweeps the periphery once per month, replacing the conventional date window. This layout preserves the symmetry of the white dial without breaking the lacquer surface for an aperture, a style the 50535-0002 inherits from the 1950s Rolex reference 8171 “Padellone.”

Blue enamel moonphase at 6 o’clock

The blue enamel moonphase disc sits in a recessed sub-dial at 6 o’clock and shows two moon emblems against a deep blue lacquer field. The full-moon emblem uses a meteorite-pattern surface for natural texture, and the new-moon emblem uses a silvered metallic finish. The moonphase disc advances one position per 24-hour cycle, and this super clone matches the depth of the blue enamel, the metallic shimmer of the meteorite full moon, and the precise positioning of the genuine reference.

Automatic moonphase caliber

The watch runs on a Swiss-grade automatic clone movement built to match the feel, frequency, and 48-hour autonomy of the genuine Rolex Caliber 3195 moonphase. It operates at 28,800 vibrations per hour, drives the pointer-date hand and the moonphase aperture, and winds bidirectionally through a perpetual rotor. VSF-grade movement components hold the gear ratio of the moonphase cam against the patented Rolex 122-year reference cycle.

Accuracy and finishing

Daily deviation holds within -5 to +10 seconds per day after factory regulation. The genuine 50535-0002 carries Superlative Chronometer certification at -2/+2 seconds per day, and the clone caliber tightens its regulation as close to that benchmark as the Swiss-grade build allows. The movement carries Côtes de Genève striping on the bridges, perlage on the mainplate, and a finely brushed perpetual rotor, all visible through the timegrapher inspection at QC.

Brown alligator-pattern strap and buckle

The watch ships on a hand-stitched brown alligator-pattern leather strap that tapers from 20mm at the lugs to 16mm at the buckle. It follows the original Cellini specification with matte brown crocodile-grain leather on the outside, a suede-textured lining, square-scale embossing, and contrast stitching along the edge. The 18K Everose gold-tone pin buckle carries the engraved Rolex crown emblem at its center bar.

Wrist feel and weight

The watch weighs about 115 grams on the leather strap, matching the wrist feel of the genuine 18K Everose gold reference within a 5-gram margin. The 39mm case sits flat with a 46mm lug-to-lug that suits 6.5-inch to 8-inch wrists in formal and business-casual settings. The leather strap softens within a week of daily wear and conforms to the wrist for all-day comfort under a dress cuff.
