圖錄文章
In 2021, Rolex made a surprising move by introducing a new yellow gold and stainless steel variant of the Explorer I, which was seen as a departure from the model's traditionally more low-profile aesthetic.

However, this particular example here is even more distinguished, as it features an upside-down index at the 9 o'clock position. This "error" occurred due to a quality control oversight at the Rolex factory, rendering this watch incredibly rare and valuable. The unique characteristic of the inverted 9 o'clock index sets this Explorer I apart from other examples, making it a highly coveted and potentially one-of-a-kind find for collectors.

Rolex

Swiss | 1905
Founded in 1905 England by Hans Wilsdorf and Alfred Davis as Wilsdorf & Davis, it soon became known as the Rolex Watch Company in 1915, moving its headquarters to Geneva in 1919. Like no other company, the success of the wristwatch can be attributed to many of Rolex's innovations that made them one of the most respected and well-known of all luxury brands. These innovations include their famous "Oyster" case — the world's first water resistant and dustproof watch case, invented in 1926 — and their "Perpetual" — the first reliable self-winding movement for wristwatches launched in 1933. They would form the foundation for Rolex's Datejust and Day-Date, respectively introduced in 1945 and 1956, but also importantly for their sports watches, such as the Explorer, Submariner and GMT-Master launched in the mid-1950s.One of its most famous models is the Cosmograph Daytona. Launched in 1963, these chronographs are without any doubt amongst the most iconic and coveted of all collectible wristwatches. Other key collectible models include their most complicated vintage watches, including references 8171 and 6062 with triple calendar and moon phase, "Jean Claude Killy" triple date chronograph models and the Submariner, including early "big-crown" models and military-issued variants.
