This 1997 Rolex Oyster Perpetual Explorer reference 14270 is a direct descendant of the original Explorer line, created in the wake of Sir Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay’s ascent of Everest. Defined by its clean black dial with 3-6-9 hour markers, it remains one of Rolex’s most iconic designs.

The 36mm stainless steel case offers balanced proportions that wear equally well in rugged or refined settings. Its glossy black dial with luminous plots and Mercedes hands presents a timeless look, paired with the rugged Oyster bracelet.

Powering the watch is Rolex’s automatic caliber 3000, a robust chronometer movement that carried the Explorer into the modern era. Known for reliability and accuracy, it represents the brand’s technical evolution through the 1990s.

A versatile and enduring tool watch, this Explorer reference captures everything that makes the model a cornerstone of Rolex’s history.
