Explorer 14270 - Watch Only (1991)

The Rolex Explorer 14270 marks the modern chapter of the brand's original mountaineering reference, introducing a sapphire crystal and applied 3/6/9 numerals over the classic black dial. This 1991 example carries a Luminova dial installed by Rolex during a later service, giving it a bright, even glow while retaining all of the 14270's original character.
