1963 Rolex Explorer 1016 Gilt Dial

Sold

“Hint O' Tropical”


Case: The case and bezel are in excellent condition and have just returned from polishing.

Dial: The glossy gilt dial is excellent and has aged to a dark chocolate tropical hue. The dial also shows some light speckling patina and overall light wear for its age. The lume has aged to a warm creamy hue and the hands have been relumed and color-matched to the dial.

Bracelet: The 22 USA oval link bracelet is excellent showing average stretch for its age.

Accessories: None.

Notes: With a distinctly 60's feel, this gilt 1016 seems to finally be starting its tropical transition.

**Given the age of this 58 year old watch, we cannot guarantee its waterproofness.
