Rolex Explorer ref.124273 Fullset del 2022
Rolex introduced the Explorer in 1953, the same year that Sir Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay climbed Mount Everest with Rolex Oyster Perpetual watches on their wrists. The Explorer was launched to celebrate this achievement and an icon was born. The Explorer has been in production ever since and remains a timeless classic that watch enthusiasts love and appreciate for its beauty and simplicity. Since the watch's inception, Rolex has continued to improve and enhance the construction of the Explorer, all while remaining faithful to the original design. Rolex introduced the ref. 1016 around 1959, and it was in production until 1989. During this time, the model remained similar in appearance to its original form, apart from a change from a shiny to matte dial around 1966. The model remained 36mm in diameter until 2010 when the 39mm iteration replaced it until the release of the updated Explorer with the 3230 movement in 2022.
