ROLEX EXPLORER II 16550 'CHICCHI DI MAIS'

THE ESSENTIALS

MODEL: 16550
YEAR: 1987
CASE DIAMETER: 40MM
CASE MATERIAL: STAINLESS STEEL
BRACELET MATERIAL: STAINLESS STEEL
MOVEMENT: AUTOMATIC

This example dates towards the end of 16550 production in 1987 and has survived in fantastic condition over the years. While the dial has remained pearl white, the tritium lume on the markers and hands has aged to a beautiful creamy hue. The original wide-font bezel remains sharp, and the previously polished case is still wonderfully strong, particularly around the crown guards. 

An amazing example of a transitional Rolex classic.
