Notes
Known to all collectors as the reference for the Air-King, the Explorer
Precision is an anomaly in the world of Rolex. Probably to seduce a
larger public, the watch sports an Explorer dial, housed in a 34 mm case.
Existing in earlier models with a gilt dial and Super Precision, this is a
very late version and probably towards the very end of the production
with a Precision matt dial.
