Individual sale results behind our data, from eBay and auction houses. Each watch differs in condition and set.

Forum rows are posts on Reddit r/Watchexchange, RolexForums and WatchUSeek that the seller marked sold. The amount is the listed price when marked sold, not a confirmed sale price, and forum rows do not feed our price.

Median price per month or quarter. A point needs at least 3 records in its month or quarter; a gap in a line means too few records, and nothing is filled in. Forum prices are the price a seller listed on Reddit r/Watchexchange, RolexForums or WatchUSeek when the post was marked sold, not a confirmed sale price. Historical context only: these series do not feed the price shown above.

About the Explorer 14270

The Rolex Explorer 14270 is a reference in the Rolex Explorer collection. Rolex made it from 1989 to 2001. From our catalog: a 36 mm case in Stainless steel; bezel: Polished stainless steel; dial: Black; movement: Calibre 3000. The specifications below list every fact we have sourced for this reference; anything we could not source is marked as not known.

What the sales say

164 sold results feed this range, 157 eBay sales and 7 auction results. The oldest sale listed here is dated October 29, 2023 and the newest October 22, 2026, a span of about 36 months. No month was busier than August 2024, when 20 changed hands. Hammer results come from Grailzee, Sotheby's and Loupe This. Few references earn our top rating; this one does, thanks to a dense and consistent stream of results. Its latest sale is recent, inside the last fortnight. Buyers have been paying consistent amounts, roughly 10% apart, which we class as Stable. A fair price for the 14270 can sit anywhere from about 25% below to 25% above the midpoint. With steady but not heavy trading, the estimate gives a sale half its weight after 180 days.

On a like-for-like annual view the median climbed 13.5%, comparing 88 recent sales with 76 earlier ones. Its long record (forum listings marked sold (listed prices, not confirmed sales)) runs from 2012: today's twelve-month median is up 100% on that start, after a low in 2012 and a high in 2022. eBay and auction buyers have paid much the same for the 14270 lately: the two medians differ by about 1%, from 83 eBay sales against 5 auction results.

Sellers without the original box and papers should expect roughly 13% less; that discount comes from 19 watch-only results in the same family. Of the 403 sales listed, 53 came as a full set, 9 as the watch alone and 51 with part of the set; 1 were described as unworn. Unworn full sets sell about 5% above worn ones across our data, so an unworn example sits above the headline. Cheapest in the list: February 6, 2024, on eBay, set not stated, about 60% below the worth-about figure. Dearest: November 17, 2024, on eBay, full set, about 158% above the worth-about figure.

Close to it on price in the same family: Explorer 114270 price, Explorer 214270 price and Explorer 124270 price.
