President Obama Wore His Trusty Out-of-Production High Quality Rolex Replica Watches UK To The Democratic National Convention
It’s tough to fault a guy for wanting to cultivate an “everyman” image while occupying the highest political office in the free world. For much of his presidency, Barack Obama rocked a roughly $400 Jorg Gray quartz Rolex replica watches for sale gifted to him by the Secret Service. Once he stepped out of the Oval Office for the last time, however, the former President reached for something a bit more refined.
It was 2017 when the greater horological internet began noticing the Rolex Cellini on President Obama’s wrist. At the time, the Cellini was—and had been for many years—UK AAA fake Rolex’s dress watches line. Of course, Rolex is known first and foremost as a producer of refined tool watches, and the thing about the Cellini was that you just didn’t see many of them out and about. Submariners? Sure. Daytonas? Yup. But a 39mm, white gold, time-only dress piece with a Rolex crown on it? That was Obama’s thing. He likes the cheap Rolex copy watches so much it is immortalized in his official presidential portrait.
His particular perfect replica Rolex Cellini ref. 50509 watches is a bit pricier than the ole’ Jorg Gray—it retailed for $15,200 when it was still in Rolex’s catalog—and features a 39mm white gold case with a handsome, knurled bezel and a white dial with applied indices, an inner minute track, and an alpha handset. It’s an objectively handsome luxury UK Rolex super clone watches, as many Crown offerings are, and frankly looked great peeking out from the President’s cuff while on display at the Democratic National Convention this week. The Presidential boost doesn’t seem to have done much for secondary market pricing on this particular time-teller: the now-discontinued ref. 50509 trades for well under its former retail price.
In 2022, Rolex made a hard left turn when it discontinued nearly every Swiss made replica Rolex Cellini reference watches save the moonphase-equipped ref. 50535. At the time, the watch world held its breath, unsure of what the move signified. Was Rolex closing ranks and doing away with its dress watch business altogether? In hindsight, this proved not to be the case: Just a year later, at Watches & Wonders Geneva, the Crown introduced its Rolex Perpetual 1908 collection, the spiritual successor to the Cellini. Currently consisting of a single model—a 39mm dress Rolex fake watches for men in white gold, yellow gold, or platinum with automatic winding and a transparent caseback—the 1908 is clear evidence of Rolex’s continued belief in watch collecting, and that a person who wears a Submariner most every day will still want to put on something a bit more elegant when wearing a tuxedo or, say, when they have a prominent speaking engagement.
The Cellini ref. 50509 will likely forever remain associated with President Obama. This truly is a case of the 2024 wholesale Rolex replica watches fitting the man—though more to the point, there was simply never a more famous personality ever tied to this dressy, reserved Rolex collection.
