Rolex Explorer I Watches

Popular Used Rolex Explorer I Watches

In 1953, Rolex sponsored an expedition to Mount Everest and supplied one of the climbers with an Oyster Perpetual. The model didn’t yet bear the iconic Explorer name. However, it was one of the first watches to reach Everest’s peak and inspired the Explorer collection. One of the most notable versions is the Reference 1016, which remained in production for an impressive 26 years. When the longstanding reign of the 1016 ended, a new era began with the debut of the Explorer II. Buying a Rolex Explorer watch means owning one of the most rugged and versatile models in the brand’s catalog.
