For Cellini-labelled ref. [[Reference:3735|3735]], Fortuna dates case serial 1,809,871 to circa 1968; the number falls within Pergola's 1968 band (1,720,977–1,938,064). This agreement applies to one case. Farsetti dates its example to 1967 but masks the serial as 15**30, leaving no complete number for comparison. See [https://www.invaluable.com/auction-lot/rolex-cellini-blue-dial-in-18k-white-gold-113-c-d154d64b31 Fortuna, lot 113] and [https://www.farsettiarte.it/uk/auction-0264-2/rolex-cellini-ref-3735-1967-107363 Farsetti, lot 107363].

Auction catalogues date ref. [[Reference:6609|6609]] cases 148,678 and 164,232 to circa 1956, cases 213,916 and 293,916 to circa 1956, cases 280,130, 280,389 and 284,956 to circa 1957, and cases 355,605, 382,912 and 388,431 to circa 1958. Phillips reports that the last of these has an inner caseback stamp reading II.1958. These are auction dates for individual watches, not factory production endpoints. Antiquorum dates case 447,272 to circa 1966, but the chart above places that number in Pergola’s 1959 band (437,255–530,168). Treat the catalogue date as a conflict; serial charts are estimates and do not date the 6609 production run.
