Rolex Ref. 1655 Explorer II, the Orange Hand, was firstly introduced in 1971. It is the first Rolex with a 24-hour indication that allows accurate time reading even in extreme environments like mountain caves, which is of significant use for real explorers. This reference features an iconic dial design with the eye-catching 24-hour hand in bright orange, which is a much loved model to every Rolex collectors.

The Ref. 1655 MK 1, just like the current example, was put into production for one year (1971) only, and therefore very limited numbers are available in the market. This example is in excellent original condition, coming in matching MK1 dial, bezel and case, and is accompanied by original box and guarantee, COSC guarantee, booklets, sales invoice, and service records. It is no doubt a rare opportunity to own a completed version of this reference.
