ROLEX Vintage EXPLORER I Reference 6610 - Stainless Steel - RADIUM DAIL - BJ 1956

We are delighted to present this exceptional vintage Rolex Explorer I, reference 6610 — a stainless-steel classic paired elegantly with a brown leather strap and its original Rolex steel pin buckle.

The Explorer line was born from one of the greatest human achievements of the 20th century: the successful 1953 ascent of Mount Everest by Sir Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay. Inspired by this triumph, the Explorer quickly became one of Rolex’s most iconic and sought-after sport models. To this day, it remains a symbol of purity, endurance, and understated design excellence.

Produced in 1956, this exquisite example of the ref. 6610 retains its all-original radium dial, featuring the rare and highly desirable large “lollipop” seconds hand. The once-black dial has aged gracefully into a deep anthracite tone, creating a captivating contrast with the warm, gilt-colored Rolex inscriptions. The overall aesthetic is nothing short of remarkable — the kind of natural aging that collectors dream of.

With its historical significance, untouched dial, and beautifully preserved vintage character, this Explorer is an outstanding collector’s piece for passionate Rolex enthusiasts and serious investors alike.
