Rolex Explorer 124273

Explorer Two-Tone 1953 Released alongside the reference 124270, Rolex surprised the world with the introduction of the reference 124273. Executed in two-tone "Rolesor" for the first time in the model's history, this latest iteration of the iconic sports watch reshaped conceptions of what an Explorer could look like, while maintaining the integral DNA of the storied sports watch. While perhaps controversial, tasteful applications of 18k yellow gold on the timepiece's dial, hands, bezel, crown, and Oyster bracelet's center links naturally afford an extra touch of luxury and sophistication. Like the more traditional stainless steel variant, the reference 124273 measures 36 mm in diameter, and features the model name printed on the dial's upper half, just as Rolex had done on the earliest of Explorer references. Also powered by the watchmaker's updated caliber 3230 movement, this release is representative of both a significant mechanical and aesthetic departure for the storied adventure timepiece. 2021 Steel Yellow Gold 36 100 Yellow Gold Sapphire Black Arabic Automatic 3230 70 31 Steel Yellow Gold Steel Yellow Gold Fold Steel Yellow Gold 2022 PREOWNED Papers / Warranty Box Folio / Wallet Product literature Hangtags
