In auction a pre-owned Rolex sport watch, the famous Rolex Explorer ref. 214270, full set. This Explorer is arguably Rolex's last classic steel sport watch under 40mm.

A bit of its story: We can trace its roots back to 1953 with an amazing expedition that saw Sir Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay conquer Mt. Everest on May 29, 1953. After multiple different models, the 214270, launched in 2010, upped the size from 36mm to 39mm, added solid end links to the Oyster bracelet, and updated the movement to the modern caliber 3132. This reference has also been updated in 2016.
