Explorer
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 introduced in 1953, shortly after the first ascent of Mt. Everest by that very Sir Edmund Hillary.
The Explorer we are offering, reference 114270, is a K-series and was sold in Germany in 2002.
The watch case is in excellent condition. There are only light scratches on the back of the case back.
The bracelet is in equally excellent condition.
The clasp is stamped with "DE8". Perfectly matching the serial number of the watch.
