Notes:  For your consideration is an absolutely incredible example of a gilt Rolex Explorer reference 1016. Even if you have only been collecting vintage for a short period of time, you know that glossy gilt vintage Rolex watches are king. Extremely hard to find in good condition and just drop dead beautiful if you have ever owned or seen one in person. Not often do you see for sale publicly an example of this caliber with a beautiful glossy dial, clean gilt print and stunning patina. The hands are original and have the original lume and the patina color matches nicely. Add the period correct 66' rivet bracelet that is long and very tight and the rare original double box and you have one home run gilt 1016!
