Rolex Explorer 1655 'Orange Hand'

 
 The Rolex Explorer 2, Ref 1655, or better known as the 'Orange Hand' has achieved cult status in recent years and is usually on the list of 'must haves' of every serious Rolex collector. I sold a nice example a few years back and have been on the lookout for another since. This particular watch is truly a 'full boat' as it comes with both inner and outer boxes, perforated guarantee and wallet, booklets, hang tag, numerous service receipts and even the original sales invoice!!! It is an Argentinian watch and correspondingly, every document is in Spanish. This piece is surely an investment for the future and I will certainly not be repeating the mistake of letting it go!
