A rare and valuable vintage Rolex Explorer. Self-winding, certified chronometer. This style watch was made famous by Internationally reknown explorer Sir Edmond Hillary - the first person to reach the pinnacle of Mt. Everest. Its desirability is hinged to it's low-key styling, exceptional quality and longevity. It is considered to be a Lifetime watch. This rare timepiece was put into service around 1960, and has received extraordinary care. The owner states that every required Rolex service was met. It is covered by Capetown's lifetime warranty. It is fitted with the most desirable oyster bracelet with flip-lock adjustable clasp. It also has the most desirable smooth bezel. This is a watch that will absolutely appreciate over the years, and I say this by watching the Sotheby's & Christie's fine watch auctions, they always fetch premium prices. This timepiece should last the careful owner a lifetime. This watch is all original, no add-ons and is covered by Capetown's Lifetime warranty.
