The Rolex Explorer reference 114270 is a model that has adopted a minimalistic design in comparison to the Daytona, Submariner or even Day-Date. However, it is also because of its simple design that many seasoned Rolex collectors deeply adore this watch. Sharing many similar traits with a vintage Rolex watch, the present watch features a striking 3-6-9 hour marker with a glossy dial that enhances the depth perception of the dial. This example is retained in very good condition coming with its factory stickers on the case, caseback and clasp.
