The Rolex Explorer, reference 224270, is one of the most honest and enduring watches in the entire Rolex catalogue, a timepiece born from the mountains and forged in the spirit of pure adventure since 1953. This certified pre-owned example from 2023 is offered in very good condition and comes with its full original set, including box, papers, and all original accessories.
Crafted entirely in Oystersteel, the 224270 presents the Explorer in a beautifully proportioned 40mm Oyster case, the sweet spot that satisfies both those who loved the previous 36mm and those who wanted something with a stronger wrist presence. Clean, robust, and built to go anywhere without a single complaint.
The black dial is a lesson in perfection through simplicity, with the iconic 3, 6, and 9 Arabic numerals, luminescent hour markers, and Chromalight-filled hands offering exceptional legibility in any condition. No date window, no complications, no distractions. Just time, told with absolute conviction.
Powering the watch is the Rolex Calibre 3230, a state-of-the-art in-house automatic movement featuring a Chronergy escapement and Parachrom hairspring for outstanding precision, magnetic resistance, and a generous 70-hour power reserve. Everything a serious watch deserves under the dial.
The watch is fitted with the Oyster bracelet with Oysterlock clasp, offering a secure and comfortable fit that is as ready for the boardroom as it is for the trail.
Available now at Minty Watches, this certified pre-owned luxury watch is a timeless choice for collectors of pre-owned luxury timepieces in Geneva who appreciate watches that mean exactly what they say.
A pre-owned watch in Geneva that has never needed to shout to be heard.
