Explorer

Rolex | Ref. 224270

Sold

The watch for extraordinary things!

When Sir Edmund Hillary was asked in the 1920s why he wanted to climb Mount Everest, he replied: "Because it's there." It was for exactly these extraordinary feats that the Rolex Explorer was launched in 1953, shortly after the first ascent of Mt. Everest by that very Sir Edmund Hillary.

The Explorer we are offering, reference 224270, is from 2023 and is in very good, lightly worn condition. Only superficial, very light signs of wear are present. Only on the clasp and partially on the bezel are there minor, visible signs of wear.

The watch comes as a full set!
