Rolex Explorer 36, 114270

We are proud to present this stylish Rolex Explorer 36 watch for sale in mint condition, fully checked and authenticated in our accredited workshop. 

The Explorer, launched in 1953, set itself apart with a simple design and a highly legible black dial with large hour markers and characteristic 3,6,9 numerals. It is a tool watch, created to tell time accurately, whatever the circumstances and has adorned the wrists of some of the greatest explorers undertaking incredible expeditions (like Sir Edmund Hillary to Mount Everest).

In 2001 the 114270 reference was launched and was fitted with a new 3130 Rolex calibre movement and with solid end links. They also switched to Superluminova for the dial’s luminous material. It comes set in a polished 36mm Oyster case with a glossy black dial with its iconic 3,6,9 hour markers and Mercedes hour hand. The glass is sapphire crystal and is fitted with a twin-lock screw down crown for water resistance up to 100M.

Discontinued in 2010 after a short run of production, the 114270 was replaced with the 39mm 214270. This makes the 114270 a very good proposition for anyone who loves the classic design and size of the Explorer.

Originally purchased in May 2004 and in mint condition for its age, this Explorer comes with its original inner and outer boxes, swing tag, seal, leather warranty holder, Explorer instructions, calendar card, leather warranty holder and perforated international warranty papers. It is sold with a 12-month warranty from SWC.
