Antique Rolex Explorer Collection FAQs
What is the historical significance of Rolex Explorer watches?
The Rolex Explorer was introduced in 1953 after the first successful summit of Mt. Everest. The mountaineers responsible were wearing the Rolex Oyster Perpetual model in an effort by the company to test its time pieces under the most extreme conditions. The now vintage Rolex Explorer model was introduced shortly after in the same year.
What makes the Rolex Explorer I different to the Rolex Explorer II?
While there are many differences between the two, there are a few key points setting them apart. For one, the Rolex Explorer I has an understated fixed bezel while the Rolex Explorer II has the rotatable bezel, specifically designed for time tracking. Another stand out feature of the Explorer II watches is the distinct orange hand often referred to as the “Freccione”.
Why buy a vintage Rolex Explorer?
The Oyster Perpetual Explorer 1 is among the most prized Rolex Explorer time pieces on the market for many reasons. One of which is certainly its origin story and connection to the first summit of Mt. Everest giving it the Rolex Explorer moniker. Vintage Rolex Explorer watches for sale are often priced commensurate to the market demand and their perspective as a solid investment piece.
How does Kalmar Antiques ensure the quality of pre-owned Rolex Explorer watches?
Our in-house horologist Lorenzo Del Rosso meticulously services all components before we list any vintage Rolex Explorer watches for sale. Sydney collectors know that Kalmar equals quality when it comes to all of our inventory, not only watches.

What factors influence Rolex Explorer cost in the second-hand market?
While obvious factors such as the era, condition and materials all affect Rolex Explorer cost, the story behind the time piece can make a major difference. Vintage models such as the Oyster Perpetual Explorer may be as much as $50,000 AUD if they are from the 1950’s and 60’s era. Collectors often chase specific dials such as the honeycomb and the “Frog Foot” coronet which further impacts the given model’s demand and therefore the Rolex Explorer price is generally case by case. If you would like assistance or further information on the various generations and their prices, we are here to assist and guide you.
Does Kalmar Antiques usually have the Oyster Perpetual Explorer for sale?
Though we do our best to keep the Oyster Perpetual Explorer on our shelves, collectors often snap them up when they come available. The best way to keep up to date on whether we currently have any specific watch such as vintage Rolex Explorer generations, rare 1960’s Rolex Oyster Perpetual Explorer watches or any other vintage Rolex is to visit our showroom in Sydney Australia. Our website is consistently up to date as well, so if you see a vintage Rolex Explorer for sale on our website and the price is still listed, it is still available.
