    Launched in 1963, ref. 1016, as implied by the name, was a tour-de-force of reliability and legibility, designed from the inside out to resist some of the most harsh conditions found on the planet. Early examples of ref. 1016 were fitted with black “glossy” lacquered dials and Rolex later replaced them with matte black dials towards the end of 1966. The reference was eventually discontinued in 1989, but the near three decades of production made this model as memorable and iconic as the Submariner or the Daytona, maybe even more given its higher accessibility. On some level, it can be said that the Explorer - considered its original highly technical nature, reliability, design and extended production run - is one of the watches that best epitomises the characteristic of Rolex’s vintage production.

    The present example of Rolex Explorer ref. 1016 belongs to one of the last examples fitted with a black “glossy” lacquer dial bearing a 1.5 million serial from the end of 1966 (according to the caseback, the fourth quarter of ’66). The connoisseur will immediately notice the incredible well preserved nature of the dial. Not only the luminous material presents no losses and has developed a subtle, even and charismatic ivory hue, most notably the gloss finish is incredibly well-preserved, without bubbling or flaking as often seen on Rolex dials from this age.

    Swiss • 1905

    Founded in 1905 England by Hans Wilsdorf and Alfred Davis as Wilsdorf & Davis, it soon became known as the Rolex Watch Company in 1915, moving its headquarters to Geneva in 1919. Like no other company, the success of the wristwatch can be attributed to many of Rolex's innovations that made them one of the most respected and well-known of all luxury brands. These innovations include their famous "Oyster" case — the world's first water resistant and dustproof watch case, invented in 1926 — and their "Perpetual" — the first reliable self-winding movement for wristwatches launched in 1933. They would form the foundation for Rolex's Datejust and Day-Date, respectively introduced in 1945 and 1956, but also importantly for their sports watches, such as the Explorer, Submariner and GMT-Master launched in the mid-1950s.

    One of its most famous models is the Cosmograph Daytona. Launched in 1963, these chronographs are without any doubt amongst the most iconic and coveted of all collectible wristwatches. Other key collectible models include their most complicated vintage watches, including references 8171 and 6062 with triple calendar and moon phase, "Jean Claude Killy" triple date chronograph models and the Submariner, including early "big-crown" models and military-issued variants.
