The Rolex Explorer Ref. 14270 is a modern classic that marked a major evolution in the Explorer lineage. Introduced in 1989, this reference brought a sapphire crystal, glossy black dial with white gold-surround hour markers, and the reliable caliber 3000 automatic movement to the Explorer line.

This particular watch dates to January 1999, placing it among the final years before Rolex transitioned to the upgraded 114270. The 36mm case and Oyster bracelet make it an ideal fit for both classic and modern tastes, while its minimalist design and legendary legibility uphold the tool watch heritage of the model.

In excellent condition and accompanied by our 2-year Chrononation warranty, this Explorer 14270 offers a timeless look with historic Rolex appeal — a perfect choice for collectors and daily wearers alike.
