Lot Essay

One of the most iconic and collector beloved vintage Rolex models, the so-called 'Freccione' (Italian for “big arrow”) Explorer II was in production from 1971 to 1985. True to Rolex’s philosophy of producing highly reliable timepieces for professionals, this model was conceived as a speleologist’s watch. The generous amount of luminous details on the dial, and the very bright orange 24-hour hand are features dedicated to these researchers who spend, at times, days underground in complete dark.
