Rolex Explorer I 114270 Black Dial Engraved on Oyster Bracelet with Papers in Unpolished Condition

$7,500

The Rolex Explorer I 114270 is a masterclass in understated luxury and technical excellence. Produced from 2001 to 2010, this reference is widely regarded as the ultimate modern classic Explorer, combining Rolex’s legendary tool-watch heritage with refined, contemporary proportions. Housed in a sleek 36mm Oystersteel case, the 114270 features the iconic black dial with 3-6-9 Arabic numerals, offering exceptional legibility and timeless style. Luminous markers and Mercedes hands ensure visibility in all conditions, staying true to the Explorer’s roots as a mountaineering instrument built for extreme environments. Powering the watch is the renowned Rolex Caliber 3130, a COSC-certified automatic movement celebrated for its precision, durability, and long-term reliability. The case is water-resistant to 100 meters, protected by a screw-down crown and sapphire crystal, and fitted to a robust Oyster bracelet with a folding safety clasp. The 114270 holds a special place in Rolex history as the final 36mm Explorer before Rolex transitioned to larger case sizes, making it highly sought after by collectors who value traditional proportions and authentic Explorer DNA. Effortlessly versatile, the Rolex Explorer I 114270 is equally at home in the boardroom, the outdoors, or everyday wear — a true one-watch collection that never goes out of style.
