Description

Stainless steel Rolex Explorer II “Freccione”. A superb example of the iconic Rolex Explorer II “Freccione” from 1980, presented in original condition and offered as a complete set. This watch was previously sold by us years ago to a discerning collector and close friend, who has carefully preserved it ever since. The large, unpolished case remains in excellent condition, showcasing its original lines. The steel bracelet is also in very good shape, exhibiting minimal stretch. The MK4 dial is perfect and flawless, retaining its striking character. Powered by the self-winding Caliber 1570, this piece was originally sold by a Rolex retailer in Barcelona in December 1982. It comes with its original box and papers. A fantastic and highly collectible watch — an exceptional addition to any serious collection.
