This pioneering spirit prompted the company to equip numerous Himalayan expeditions with oyster watches. On the 29th of May 1953, Sir Edmund Hillary and Sherpa Tenzing Norgay were the first to reach the summit of Mount Everest. The two men were members of a British expedition that was equipped with oyster perpetual watches.

The explorer is emblematic of the close ties between Rolex and exploration."
