Rolex Explorer Circle Mirror
Ref.1016 Serial.51 (manufactured around 1960)
Accessories: Main unit only
Cal.1560 FF58/7206 Clasp code 69.3 Back cover 60.2
SOLD OUT!!

The third generation Explorer "Ref. 1016" manufactured from around 1959 to around 1990

During the long manufacturing period, various changes were made to the specifications.
It's a vintage Explorer.

The latest arrival is an early model with a circle mirror dial, which is rare.

This particular dial is one of the earliest mirror dials.
A track-shaped minute circle is printed along the outer edge of the dial.
They are called "chapter ring," "circle mirror," and "MM dial."
This is a mirror dial made up until around 1963.

I have the impression that mirror dials are becoming less common these days.
Among them, the circle mirror is a rare dial that is hard to come by even in our store.

Circle mirrors come in a wide variety of dials.
This particular example has an early dial.

The dial condition is age-related and has aged,
This is a mirror dial that allows you to enjoy extremely natural aging.

It's hard to tell from the photo, but
The dial and luminous material age with time,
This is a really cool piece with an exquisite shine still remaining.

The luminous material is in good condition with no noticeable chips.

The condition of the luminous hands is also good.
The color of the index and the luminous material match perfectly!!

The condition is age appropriate, with some small scratches,
This is a solid piece for one manufactured in 1960!

The case is in good condition and has no excessive finishing!

This rivet bracelet is a must-have for a mirror dial!

The buckle is a crown belly buckle!
It has a nice flavor!!
The clasp is stamped with the 3rd period of 69 and is a later rivet bracelet.

Breath condition is good,
It is in good condition and there is no sign of wrinkles.

Wrist shot!!
The aged mirror finish still has a glossy finish, and the shining gold letters make this a really cool piece!!
It's not easy to find a circle mirror like this.

Vintage Explorer Ref.1016 Circle Mirror
This is a piece with an outstanding atmosphere that allows you to enjoy the exquisite aging process over approximately 60 years.
The actual item is definitely even cooler than the photo,
Please be sure to pick it up and take a look!
