Description
The Rolex Explorer, model 214270, is an icon of timeless design and luxury horology. Produced in 2020, this exquisite timepiece is in mint condition, featuring an array of high-end specifications and an intriguing history that sets it apart from the crowd. The model is no longer produced in the popular 39mm size, adding to its scarcity and desirability among savvy collectors and watch enthusiasts.
The Rolex Explorer's lore can be traced back to the daring adventures of 1953. It was in this year that a groundbreaking expedition to the heights of Mt. Everest was undertaken. This was no ordinary journey, for it was during this expedition that the nascent Explorer series got its definitive field test. Rolex, showcasing its commitment to precision and durability, provided the pioneering mountaineer Sir Edmund Hillary with an early model Explorer watch. His successful ascent of Mt. Everest with the Rolex on his wrist proved the resilience and reliability of the timepiece in the harshest of terrains. This led to the official adoption of the "Explorer" title, registered in Geneva earlier that same year and inspired by the legendary summit bid.
The Model 214270 is powered by the lauded Calibre 3132 movement, an impressive feat of mechanical craftsmanship, noted for its precision and durability. It is this steadfast movement that showcases Rolex’s commitment to quality, providing wearers with steadfast, accurate timekeeping.
This specific 2020 edition comes with a sporty Oyster bracelet. Distinguished by its broad, flat three-piece links, the Oyster bracelet is a perfect alchemy of form and function. It’s robust and comfortable and equipped with an Oysterlock folding clasp, which prevents accidental opening.
The Rolex Explorer Model 214270, with its rich history, superior mechanics, and thoughtfully engineered design, is much more than a watch. It is a testament to Rolex's enduring commitment to excellence, an emblem of rugged elegance, capable of resonating with the spirit of adventure that exists within each and every one of us.
