The Rolex 216570 Explorer II was introduced in 2011 with a larger 42mm stainless steel case than its predecessors and the all new bracelet and hands.
This is a really nice example of the black dialled version, and it is 99% unmarked. There is a TINY mark on the rehaut at 2 o’clock but apart from that, nothing anywhere. The black dial and hands are perfect and the bracelet has no wear or damage.
It comes with both original ‘Wave’ boxes, the plastic card papers, card wallet and booklets as you would expect as well as the original green seal.
Just tested by Rolex certified watch specialists Michlmayr & Co. this Rolex 216570 Explorer II is running within COSC spec.
The Rolex Explorer II which was originally referred to as the ‘Steve McQueen’ Rolex, despite the fact he never wore one, has been with us since 1971 and is still going strong now. There have been several versions over the years and this is the current version.
