Explorer I (Reference 124273). A 36mm stainless steel yellow gold automatic wristwatch. 2022

The Rolex Explorer 36 Reference 124273, released in 2021, is a landmark modern Explorer that introduced Yellow Rolesor, a composition of Oystersteel and solid 18k yellow gold into a line historically defined by its all steel tool watch purity. Its debut marked the first use of precious metal in the Explorer’s lineage, a decision that surprised the watch community and signaled a new, more luxurious design direction for the model. With its 36 mm proportions, black dial, and gilt accented markers, the 124273 preserves the Explorer’s classic aesthetic while reframing it through a refined, two‑tone lens, creating one of the most distinctive and conversation shifting references in the modern Rolex catalogue. Includes Rolex box and card.
