FootnotesThe Rolex Explorer II 1655 first appeared on the market in 1967 and continued the tradition of the earlier Explorer models which were first introduced in 1953. The watch was originally developed to accompany speleologists on their cave exploration expeditions and as such was designed with extreme durability in mind. Due to its limited commercial success and short production period, the reference 1655 is today one of the more sought after Vintage Rolex models.Read MoreAdditional informationAuction informationBonhams cannot arrange for the delivery of lots containing mother of pearl or ruby into the United States due to import restrictions.Please note that in some circumstances we are unable to ship the watch with its strap due to regulations regarding material derived from endangered or otherwise protected species.The buyer or designated agent may collect the property in the country of sale.For information and estimates on domestic and international shipping please contact ThePackengers on:
