Rolex Explorer Gilt Ref. 6610 – 1958

The reference 6610 sits at a meaningful juncture in Explorer history — produced during the final years of the reference’s run before Rolex consolidated the Explorer line around the long-lived reference 1016 in 1959. Introduced in the mid-1950s, the 6610 was among the models that carried forward the spirit of Rolex’s mountaineering legacy, famously associated with the first ascent of Everest in 1953. This particular example dates to 1958 and presents the stunning naturally aged character.
