A Superb Rolex, 124270, Oyster Perpetual Explorer in Unworn Condition, Supplied with Box and Papers and Partially Stickered, First Sold in September 2021, 36mm, Striking Black Dial. 

From the 1930s, Rolex began to equip numerous expeditions with Oyster watches. The feedback received over the years was used to develop what became known as the Professional category of watches that served as tools: models such as the Explorer and Explorer II. Rolex watches have taken part in some of humanity’s greatest adventures. One such occasion was the 1953 expedition to Everest, led by Sir John Hunt, which saw Sir Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay become the first to summit the world’s highest mountain.

What’s On Offer 

This Unworn Oyster Perpetual Explorer in Oystersteel features a distinctive black 'Explorer' dial with characteristic 3, 6, and 9 numerals with a Chromalight display emitting a long-lasting blue glow, like the hour markers and hands offering optimal visibility. The smooth bezel in Oystersteel is robust yet elegant and in perfect harmony with the Explorer’s iconic heritage. The case is also crafted from Oystersteel which is specially developed by the brand. Oystersteel belongs to the 904L steel family, alloys most commonly used in high-technology and in the aerospace and chemical industries, where maximum resistance to corrosion is essential. Oystersteel is extremely resistant, offers an exceptional finish once polished, and maintains its beauty even in the harshest environments. This is a classic mid-size watch at 36mm, sophisticated and understated with all the bells and whistles one would expect from Rolex.
