Rolex Explorer Ref. 1016 Mk. 1

SOLD

Straight Facts

The Rolex Explorer and the 1016 reference in particular is one of the most iconic and coveted models in the vintage Rolex lineup. The 36mm case paired with the iconic arabic “Explorer” dial is a winning look that the brand continues to leave intact. This wonderful example from 1967 is a prime piece. The Mk. 1 “Frog Foot” dial is mint and the lume has taken on a wonderful patina. Paired with a sharp stainless steel oyster case it is truly hard to beat!

*Some marks or spots on the dial are reflections or dust on the crystal and are due to high intensity strobe lighting used while photographing. They are not actually on the watch or visible in natural lighting.

"As collectors themselves, Oliver and Clarke are on a mission to make buying vintage watches as painless as possible."

"The company focuses on good prices for its pieces, elite customer service and full transparency."

"The appointment-only space is inviting, with comfortable seating areas and exposed brick walls."

From Rolex & Patek Philippe, to Cartier & Audemars Piguet. As collectors first, we love the small details that separate the Submariner from Daytona and Calatrava from Royal Oak. This is why you'll find our curated assortment spans decades of generations of models and brands. We believe that watches don't just tell time, they tell history - and life is too short to wear a boring watch.
