Superb iconic model

All original parts

The rolex 1016
Sir Edmund Hillary decided to take part in a very special expedition, to climb the world's highest peak, Mount Everest at 8848m.

He wears an explorer 1 on his wrist, a model created in 1953 for adventure.

This iconic watch is easy to read and robust.

A true legend is born, and Rolex strikes hard with this historic model.

Perfect design and aesthetics.

It benefits from the dna of all-record watches, following the expedition through snow, cold and wind without ever making a mistake and without ever disappointing its owner.

The model offered is from 1989 under reference 1016, one of the most remarkable. A highly sought-after reference, the 1016 is the most desired Explorer 1.

Collectors beware, this is one of the very last series produced.

it's a round steel case, 36mm in diameter. A magnificent black dial with the famous 3, 6, 9 motif. Mercedes hands and central second hand. Oyster" bracelet with signed steel folding clasp.

This is a true Tool Watch, an explorer's watch par excellence, a watchmaking myth.

A watch with an exemplary career. Since 1953, Rolex has been manufacturing this timeless and historic model, always with simplicity in mind.

A legend that can follow you wherever you go
