The Return of the Icon
The Rolex Explorer is perhaps the most understated yet historically significant timepiece in the Crown’s catalog. With this reference, the 124270, Rolex returned the model to its classic, purist dimensions of 36mm. Born from the legacy of the first summit of Mount Everest, the Explorer represents resilience, clarity, and adventure. This specific example features the latest generation movement and superior Chromalight lume, offering modern reliability packaged in the perfect vintage proportion. It is a watch that does not beg for attention but commands respect—a true daily driver for the discerning collector.
Welcome to Royalty Timepieces, your premier destination for authentic, pre-owned luxury timepieces. We are passionate about horology and are committed to providing our clients with exceptional watches and unparalleled customer satisfaction.
Specifications: Rolex Explorer 36 (Ref. 124270)
Movement: Rolex Calibre 3230 Manufacture. This is a self-winding mechanical movement entirely developed and manufactured by Rolex. It features the Chronergy escapement and boasts a power reserve of approximately 70 hours. Superlative Chronometer certified.
Case: 36mm Oystersteel case. The monobloc middle case features a screw-down case back and winding crown.
Bezel: Smooth, fixed Oystersteel bezel.
Crystal: Scratch-resistant sapphire.
Dial: Distinctive black lacquer dial with the iconic 3, 6, and 9 numerals. Features an optimized Chromalight display with long-lasting blue luminescence for superior legibility in dark environments.

Condition Report
Transparency is paramount at Royalty Timepieces. This timepiece is in fairly good, honest pre-owned condition.
Case & Bracelet: There are surface scratches visible throughout the case, bezel, and bracelet, consistent with daily wear.
Bezel Details: Specifically, there are some tiny "fleabites" (very small nicks) located on the bezel near the 6 o'clock position.
Polish Status: Crucially, this watch has never been polished. The original factory lines and chamfers remain sharp and visible. While it shows wear, it retains its original structural integrity, which is highly prized by collectors. It can be worn as is or professionally polished to look new at the buyer's discretion.
It has been handled with care and, despite the cosmetic wear, presents the authentic character of a true tool watch.
