Rolex Explorer II 16570
A true icon of Rolex’s professional tool-watch lineage, the Rolex Explorer II (Ref. 16570) blends purpose-built functionality with timeless design. Originally developed for explorers and spelunkers operating in extreme low-light environments, the Explorer II remains one of the brand’s most practical and understated sports watches.
This example features a crisp black dial with luminous hour markers and Mercedes hands, complemented by the signature orange GMT hand and fixed 24-hour stainless steel bezel. The result is a dial that is both highly legible and unmistakably Rolex, with just enough color to give the watch its character without sacrificing versatility.
Housed in a 40mm stainless steel Oyster case, the Explorer II wears comfortably and confidently, making it equally suitable as a daily companion or a capable travel watch. The solid Oyster bracelet completes the package, offering durability, comfort, and the unmistakable feel of Rolex stainless steel.
Most importantly, this watch has just completed a fresh Rolex service on December 16, 2025, ensuring optimal mechanical performance and peace of mind for its next owner.
