About the piece
A rare early Rolex sport watch, offered in gorgeous original condition. This is a great example of a 1950s Rolex and a model that is certainly not in abundance in the marketplace. This white dial Explorer, often called “Polar” dial is very similar to the model that Sir Edmund Hillary wore on his historic ascent of Mt. Everest. The case back has a pronounced, thick bubble, adding to the vintage charm. 36mm
