1960 Rolex Explorer I ref. 1016
Serial:
517,XXX
Dial:
Wonderful original gilt chapter ring dial. The dial is still quite glossy, but has some light surface oxidation. This dial has a similar graphic as to its predecessor reference 6610, but is marked SCOC. The tritium hands match the dial beautifully.
Case:
Excellent case with even thick lugs has seen only minimal polish during its life. Original bezel remains sharp.
Bracelet:
Custom Italian made suede strap.
Accessories:
None.
Comments:
These early gilt glossy 3-6-9 dialed explorers with chapter rings are quite rare and extremely undervalued compared to 3-6-9 subs.
