Est. $10,000-$11,000 Rolex 1989 Explorer II 40mm Solid Stainless Steel Watch W/Box & Papers - This rare and handsome timepiece by Rolex is the 40mm stainless steel Explorer II. Each Rolex model caters to a different profession or lifestyle, and this fascinating model is no different as it was developed for use while in dark environments such as caves or the Arctic. The watch features a black dial with highly visible luminous markers and hands, red GMT hand, a fixed 24-hour bezel that can be read against the red arrow hand to track day and night hours or sync with a second time zone, a reliable self-winding movement, and a stainless steel Oyster bracelet with Oysterlock clasp. This rare timepiece is truly a collector's dream, and comes with the original Rolex box, polishing cloth and papers. A serial number lookup suggests that the watch was produced in 1989.
