Comments
Stainless steel Rolex Explorer ref. 1016. One of our all-time favourite Rolex references, this 1964 Explorer is made even more special by its beautifully aged tropical dial, a true gem for vintage enthusiasts.
The watch is in very good condition, with a solid case that retains strong proportions and well-defined angles. It is fitted with its original Oyster rivet bracelet, showing no stretch, and a clasp correctly stamped with the 1966 date code. The highlight of this piece is undoubtedly the dial, which has aged to a rich chocolate brown tropical hue, perfectly complemented by creamy original lume hands. This is an early dial, featuring the low “Swiss T<25” designation, entirely correct for its serial range.
Powered by the reliable self-winding Caliber 1560, this Explorer represents the kind of vintage Rolex that every serious collector hopes to own.
