Welcome to the sale of our amazing Rolex Explorer 1016. This particular watch dates to 12th April 1965 (Serial: 1053683) and retains its original and highly desirable gilt dial. The pictures do not do the dial enough justice - it's insane. The dial has aged to perfection with a uniform tropical or "Wabi-Sabi" patina. You simple will not find another like this, especially one with the original Rolex warranty certificate! The 36mm Rolex Explorer 1016 is a design icon with its distinctive 3, 6, 9 hour markers and Mercedes type hands and powered by the Rolex calibre 1560 automatic movement. This watch was serviced by Rolex UK in December 2021 where a new Oyster case and Oyster bracelet were fitted. In addition to the original warranty book, the service card is included as is a letter from Rolex stating that the serial number has been changed. The ultra rare 1963 'Men Who Guide' featuring JFK on the front cover is also included. We offer free UK delivery and a 24 month warranty on all our Rolex watches for sale. We will also accept your current watch in part exchange or on consignment.
