Rolex Explorer I 14270 C Series (1992)

I just turned 30 and am looking to purchase a Rolex from my birth year. Really like the Explorer I's, so I thought, "Why not buy one from 1992?"

Apparently, C Series - made in 1992 - Explorers are EXTREMELY rare... I can't seem to find out why and I definitely can't find any to buy online.

Would someone be able to tell me why the Explorer C Series is so rare?

Only a limited range of C-series case numbers was used and mostly for bicolour Datejust 16233 and 69173 models.

I am not sure that a C-series Explorer exists.

Other case number prefixes were also used in 1992.
