Introduced in 1960, the Rolex Explorer reference 1016 became an icon. The 1016 was produced until around 1989. The Ref. 1016 was the first Explorer to feature the inscription ‘Superlative Chronometer Officially Certified’ on the dial. It is one of the most sought-after timepieces, and for good reason. The 1016 is one of the purest expressions of watch design, and it is for this reason that I am probably asked about vintage Explorer reference 1016s more than any other watch. Currently in working order and consigned by the first owner. Engraved on the back: ‘Per I tuoi 30 Anni, Brunella’. Currently in working order.
