The Ultimate Adventure Watch
Born from Rolex’s pioneering spirit, the Explorer was introduced in 1953 to commemorate Sir Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay’s historic ascent of Mount Everest. Designed for resilience and readability in extreme conditions, the Explorer became a favourite among adventurers, mountaineers, and those who appreciate understated, functional design.
The reference 114270, launched in 2001, represents the last of the 36mm Explorer models before Rolex increased the case size. It retains the classic proportions, drilled lugs, and timeless simplicity that make the Explorer such a staple in the brand’s history. Powered by the Calibre 3130 movement, it offers reliability, precision, and a nod to Rolex’s tool-watch heritage.

This 2002 Rolex Explorer 114270 is a complete collector’s dream, coming with its original box, papers, booklets, and even hang tags—an increasingly rare find. The watch is in excellent condition, having just benefited from a full service, ensuring flawless performance.
At 36mm, the Explorer remains one of Rolex’s most versatile timepieces. Whether dressed up or down, its clean black dial, bold 3-6-9 numerals, and no-nonsense design make it an everyday classic. And at just £5,250, this represents outstanding value for one of Rolex’s most celebrated models.
Iconic Status
The Explorer’s timeless appeal has made it a favourite among collectors and celebrities alike. Legendary figures such as Steve McQueen, Ian Fleming (creator of James Bond), and more recently, Matt Damon. Its connection to real-world exploration, combined with its sleek yet rugged aesthetic, has cemented its place as a true icon of horology.
