AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Pre-owned Rolex Explorer 14270, full set, with original papers and box.
This Rolex has the rare distinction of being, quite likely, the very first modern Rolex sports watch, ushering in a new era of watchmaking and watch design for the brand.
The 14270 was released at the Basel Fair in 1989 and put Rolex at the cross-section of sport and luxury.
This model maintains the classic 36mm sizing of the Explorer.
It sports a glossy black lacquer dial, with applied markers and numerals with white-gold surrounds, a sapphire crystal, and features a Rolex Caliber 3000 movement – an upgrade over the 1570 used in the preceding 1016.
This piece has the "Swiss Made" dial (out of the 4 variants that were created by Rolex).
