“R Series” Rolex Explorer II ref. #16550 with Box & Papers

This would have been among the first Explorer II models released with a sapphire crystal. Note the special, early bezel with a distinct, bold font. By comparison of the current EX II, this watch offers a vintage charm, yet is modern enough to wear daily. The watch is in original condition with Oyster bracelet (#78360) and is accompanied by the original box and papers. 40mm. Circa 1988

We are not selling this watch as unpolished.
