Pre-owned Rolex Explorer 14270.

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). 

A bit of its story: 
The 14270 was released at the Basel Fair in 1989 and put Rolex at the cross-section of sport and luxury.
