Offered at $13,500 USD We are always open to offers and trades. Please feel free to contact us at info@craftandtailored.com or by calling (213) 293-0555 This specific example features the earlier Rolex coronet that is commonly referred to as the "frog foot" as this era of coronet (post gilt dial) which resembles a frog's foot whereas the coronets later variants on the ref. 1016 are much more stout and pronounced. The flawless dial is intact without any chipping or issue and the lume plots and hands have achieved a wonderful golden and matching patina which adds to this specific example's charm and wrist appeal. The Rolex Explorer I (Ref. 1016) would make a great addition to an existing collection and offers the utmost versatility as a stand-alone piece. It would also make a daily driver as it is suitable for the most formal as well as the most casual of settings!
