Vintage Explorer 36mm Plexi Steel
Model #1016 Box:No Paper:No
The quintessential Rolex Explorer Ref. 1016 embodies one of horology's purest design expressions. Introduced in 1960 and produced until 1989, this iconic adventurer's timepiece ushered in a new era for the Explorer line as the first to feature "Superlative Chronometer Officially Certified" on its dial. Its perfectly proportioned 36mm stainless steel round case delivers understated elegance with a rugged purpose.
The distinctive black dial showcases the Explorer's signature 3-6-9 Arabic numerals configuration alongside luminous hour markers, creating exceptional legibility that defines the model's purposeful aesthetic. The fixed stainless steel bezel maintains the clean, uncluttered profile, making this reference so enduringly popular among collectors and enthusiasts. Powered by the reliable automatic caliber 1560 movement, this vintage Explorer provides dependable timekeeping without the complication of a date function.
Measuring a versatile 36mm in diameter, the round stainless steel case sits comfortably on the wrist with its elegant proportions. The solid crystal protects the distinctive dial with its iconic Arabic numerals, while the silver stainless steel Oyster bracelet completes the refined yet rugged package with its secure folding clasp. Designed as a true explorer's companion, this men's/unisex watch combines exceptional durability with timeless aesthetics.
Master Luxury presents this preowned Rolex Explorer in very good condition. This authenticated vintage timepiece shows its character and history while maintaining its classic appeal. A genuine collector's timepiece, this Explorer 1016 appeals to Rolex's minimalist design philosophy enthusiasts. Please note that the watch is missing an endlink on one side.
