Item Details
Description
Uncommon and very collectible “Canadian market” Rolex Explorer Precision. These rare Rolex watches are commonly referred to as the “Dress Explorers” as they have a solid 14k. gold “coin edge” bezel and winding crown.
The correct reference 5501 stainless steel ROLEX OYSTER case dates the watch to 1961.
As many know, the reference 5500 (steel) and 5501 (two-tone) also appear in the Rolex Air-King line of watches from the same era. The Explorer versions are of course much less common iteration of the two types, there are fewer of them than the ref. 1016 Explorers!
The sparkling steel case on this Explorer measures 34mm and houses a caliber 1530 rotor, automatic winding movement; which is keeping accurate time. The Original off white dial on this Explorer has taken on a very attractive patina. The original raised gold markers and original Dauphine hands complete the look and have remained in great shape..
