Rolex Explorer II 216570 - one of the most practical and understated Rolex sports watches of the modern era.
The Rolex Explorer II 216570 Polar has quietly become one of the most sought-after modern Rolex references. With its crisp white dial, bold orange 24-hour hand, and purposeful tool-watch design, it offers a distinctive alternative to the more common Submariner and GMT-Master II.
Introduced in 2011, the 216570 marked a significant evolution of the Explorer II. Rolex increased the case size to 42mm, improved legibility with larger hands and markers, and reintroduced the iconic orange 24-hour hand inspired by the much-loved Explorer II 1655.
This 2018 one-owner example is presented in outstanding condition. The watch is approximately 99% unmarked, with flawless dial and hands, while the Oyster bracelet remains free from wear, stretch, or damage. It is exactly the sort of condition enthusiasts hope to find.
Supplied as a complete set, it includes both original Rolex Wave boxes, warranty card, card holder, booklets, and the original green seal.
Purchased locally to us from new, it has clearly been carefully owned throughout its life.
Recently tested, this Rolex Explorer II 216570 is running comfortably within COSC specification and performing exactly as it should.
Crafted by Rolex, the Explorer II remains one of the most capable and versatile sports watches in the Rolex collection - robust, highly legible, and equally at home on an expedition or in everyday life.
