Explorer

The Rolex Explorer was born on the slopes of Everest. Developed in the early 1950s as a watch robust enough to withstand the extremes of high-altitude mountaineering, the Explorer accompanied Sir Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay to the summit in 1953 — and returned with a reputation for absolute reliability it has never relinquished.

The Explorer's design is architectural in its restraint: Arabic numerals at 3, 6, and 9 against a matte black dial, Mercedes hands, and an Oyster case that has barely changed in seven decades. La Lusso Co. sources new and pre-owned Explorer references for collectors who understand that the most enduring watch design is the one that needs nothing added. Licensed Florida dealer.
