Here we have a lovely first owner 1969 Rolex Explorer 1016 with MKI "frogfoot" dial with the coronet resembling a frogs foot shape.

The case is lovely and thick with light sleeve polish, but excellent overall. The serial and reference number are clear and visible between the lugs.

The watch has a flawless, and stunning matte black dial with a subtle creamy yellow hue developing, really well preserved!

The watch was worn daily on this Jubilee which has some stretch but can be paired on any number of 20mm straps of your choice.

Full serviced this year in October, 2024. Ready to be enjoyed again.

Priced really competitively for a watch of this caliber and condition, and a good time to invest in a good 1016.
