First-series Rolex Explorer II 'Steve McQueen' or Freccione, with extremely rare straight-tipped seconds hand. The watch also comes with its original swing tags, certificate, and bill of sale from Mappin and Webb in Bradford. The serial number and date mark on the inside of the case-back both attest to 1972 as year of manufacture. Soon after 1973, Rolex began using the 'lollipop' seconds hand with a luminous dot near the tip, and many from the first series have been replaced with this later stye; examples like this, with all original features intact, and with box and papers, are highly sought-after. Guaranteed for two years.
