Early Rolex Explorer Ref. 1016

This is a gorgeous early Rolex Explorer I Ref. 1016 circa 1961. The original glossy gilt dial with chapter ring is in beautiful condition. These early Explorer I's with these types of dials are very hard to come by these days. The case is strong but has been polished in its lifetime. The inside of the case back has the reference 1016 as well as the date stamp.
