Vintage 1970s Rolex Explorer Ref. 1016 Tiffany & Co. Print Advertisement
Approximately 4.5 x 5 inches.
This vintage 1970s Rolex Explorer Ref. 1016 magazine advertisement was placed by Tiffany & Co., one of the watch's most prestigious authorized retailers, listing the iconic tool watch at $635 in stainless steel. The original print ad presents the Explorer's legendary black dial with 3-6-9 Arabic numerals and Oyster bracelet in a clean, confident layout that embodies the decade's understated horological elegance. Fewer than a dozen Explorer Ref. 1016 advertisements are known to exist, making any example a genuinely rare collectible ad. The Tiffany & Co. co-branding adds a second layer of desirability, linking two of the most revered luxury names in a single vintage advertisement.
