Brand: Rolex
Model: Explorer i Movement : Auto cal 1560 Reference: 1016 Diameter: 36mm Year: 1963 Serial: 105XX Case: Very nice case not too polished, still thick and with angles and lugs not too rounded as the 1016 case was quite thin for a professional watch. Bezel in good condition. No major visible shocks. Dial: Beautiful gilt dial with beautiful patinated indexes. Very rare transitional dial with its swiss only marking and its small underline which marks the passage from radium to a less radioactive tritium. The gilt has very few surface scratches and remains in a nice state of preservation and homogeneous patina of the indexes 3-6-9 and moreover starts to become tropical brown and perfect without pitting or big blisters... The hands match well the original patina. Very nice overall. Bracelet: Riveted steel endlink 58 marked 1.65 Accessories : None Our opinion: the explorer ref 1016 appeared in the 60's, different versions were produced, matte, lacquered, white dial... A real collector reference so hard to find today. This one has a nice patina. The case is in good condition, its ultra rare swiss only underline gilt dial is very well preserved and a nice tropical brown patina is forming! The watch is in its original condition with its original riveted bracelet and is one of the very first series produced in 1963 in the transition period of luminescent at Rolex very sought after !!!! So rare to find today that they are now worth as much as the Submariner! |
