Sir Edmund Hillary decided to take part in a very special expedition, to climb the world’s highest peak, Mount Everest at 8848 m.

He wore an Explorer I on his wrist, a model created in 1953 for adventure.

This iconic watch is easy to read and robust.

A true legend was born, and Rolex struck hard with this historic model.

Perfect design and aesthetics.

It benefits from the DNA of all-record watches, following the expedition in the snow, cold and wind without ever making a mistake and without ever disappointing its owner.

The model on offer is from 1964, under reference 1016, one of the most remarkable. A highly sought-after reference: the 1016 is the most desired Explorer I.

It’s a round steel case, 36mm in diameter. A magnificent black lacquered dial with a superb tropical patina, adorned with the famous 3, 6, 9 that characterizes it. Mercedes hands and central second hand. Leather strap.

A true tool watch with a distinctive patina, an explorer’s watch par excellence, a watchmaking myth.

A watch with an exemplary career. Since 1953, Rolex has been manufacturing this timeless and historic model, always with simplicity in mind.

A legend that can follow you in all your activities.
