Rolex Explorer Ref. 5504 with a 500K serial — one of those early Explorers that just gets better the closer you look. The gilt dial has aged beautifully, with rich tones, warm patina, and a wonderfully preserved vintage look that makes these so collectible.

The steel case measures 36 mm and is in great, untouched condition with crisp beveled edges.

The dial is exceptionally well-preserved with an even, attractive patina.

The automatic movement is running smoothly.

On its original Rolex calf leather strap secured by the original steel Rolex buckle.

An outstanding piece for the avid collector.
