An exceptionally well-preserved 1998 Rolex Explorer II 16570 with original black tritium dial, beautifully sharp case and an impressive Full Set.
One of the most appealing Rolex sports watches of the 1990s, combining classic 40mm proportions, a fixed 24-hour bezel and practical GMT functionality. This 1998 black-dial example is particularly desirable for its original tritium dial, a feature increasingly appreciated by collectors of vintage Rolex watches.
What really sets this Rolex Explorer II apart is its outstanding condition. Carefully worn throughout its life, the stainless steel case retains beautifully thick, sharp lugs and crisp edges, while the original Oyster bracelet shows no signs of wear. Finding a 1990s Explorer II preserved to this standard is becoming increasingly difficult.
In fact, we've struggled to find another 1990s Rolex Explorer II in comparable condition currently for sale in the UK. With so few exceptional examples available, collector demand for well-preserved, original watches is likely to remain strong, making this a particularly interesting time to buy.
Completeness is equally impressive. Supplied as a genuine Full Set, it includes both original Rolex boxes, original papers, booklets, accessories and tags. Recently tested, the watch is running within COSC specifications.
An all-original 1998 Rolex Explorer II with exceptional condition, original tritium dial and complete Full Set. A superb opportunity to acquire an increasingly hard-to-find example of this classic Rolex sports watch.
