Specialist note

Accompanied by Rolex Guarantee dated 6 July 1991.

The Rolex Explorer reference 14270 with "Black Out" dial is one of the rarest and most desirable versions of this celebrated model.

In production only during a very short time in 1991, it is distinguished by the unusual dial layout, featuring black painted Arabic 3, 6 and 9 numerals from which it derives its name. This variant is mainly found in the "E" series of reference 14270.
