THE ULTRA RARE ROLEX EXPLORER 1016 ALBINO
In the weeks preceding the 2023 Watches & Wonders watch fair, I wrote an article (LINK) speculating that Rolex could surprise the watch world with a white dial Explorer 1. My argument was that the Swiss brand already offers a white dial Explorer 2 and that, a while back, it used to only make black dial Explorer 2’s. The argument was fair (I hope) and would have shown the typical consistency Rolex is known for. What is surprising, however, is to learn—after the fact—that Rolex made a white dial Explorer 1, reference 1016, referred to as an “albino.” . . .
