1986 Rolex Explorer 1 ref. 1016 “Top Condition, Box & Papers”

Up for grabs is a Rolex Explorer 1

Reference 1016 with 36mm case, acrylic crystal

9.0 mil serial number circa late 1986 production with warranty papers dated in June of 1986 at time of purchase from the AD.

Excellent vintage condition case with sharp lugs and legible numbers, seemingly never polished.

Flawless dial with nice yellow patina and matching tritium hands. No chips, scratches, or stains. No relume or refinish.

Original Rolex 78360 bracelet with 12 links, tight condition for its age, and I date code, 501 end-links.

This watch comes complete with Rolex boxes, warranty papers, both hang tags with matching serial number to the watch, plus a Rolex service receipt from 1995.

The watch winds smoothly and runs at about +7 seconds at ~280 amplitude.
