Description

Was very lucky to snag this super mint Rolex 1655 Explorer 2 s/n 3,2XX,XXX ahead of a queue of interested buyers when it came up for sale by VRF host Eric Ku, in the right place at the right time you could say. However the PP bug has caught so selling some of only my best pieces to fund. A fantastic case with factory bevel on it's edges with equally sharp bezel edges and fully black numerals showing next to no wear. Original tritium dial in flawless condition that has a very light cream patina. Distinguishing feature is it's very light orange coloured hand giving it a unique look (common on early 1655 examples). Super tight bracelet with no stretch.
