Rolex Explorer 36 Open Date
A classic from the golden era of modern Rolex tool watches, this 36mm Rolex Explorer, reference 114270, is the understated, go-anywhere sports watch that so many collectors love.
The black dial with its signature 3, 6, and 9 Arabic numerals keeps things clean and highly legible, true to the Explorer's expedition roots. Its compact 36mm case and Oyster bracelet make it incredibly comfortable and easy to wear.
This Explorer is in good pre-owned condition. The bracelet remains very tight. There are a couple of light scuffs on the crystal, although they are not noticeable to the naked eye without magnification. Markings inside the caseback indicate that the watch may have been serviced in 2024.
It is offered with the original Rolex box. While it does not include papers, the Y serial number dates the watch to approximately 2001 or 2002. The bracelet comes with 11 full size links.
