Rolex Explorer II 'Polar', 16570

This classic Rolex Polar Explorer has been fully checked in our in-house accredited workshop.

A watch for any and all conditions. Tested by explorers, mountaineers and scientists in the most challenging of conditions. The Explorer II set new standards for precision, strength, and clarity. Larger and more rugged than its predecessor, the Explorer II features an additional hand that rotates around the face of the watch once per 24 hours, which allows you to keep track of daylight hours or a second time zone thanks to the hacking-hour hand.

This reference 16570 was produced from 1989 until 2011. The watch features the crisp white ‘Polar’ dial with a striking red 24-hour hand, Superluminova dot hour markers, date window, 40mm stainless steel Oyster case and engraved contrasting black 24-hour bezel. This Explorer II is equipped with a chronometer rated calibre 3185 automatic movement and is fitted on the stainless-steel Oyster link bracelet, solid end link with folding clasp.

Originally purchased in December 2001 and is in fine condition for its age, this Explorer II comes with its original inner & outer boxes, seal, calendar card, translation, Oyster booklet, instruction booklet, original receipt and international warranty card.

This Explorer II is sold with a 12-month warranty from SWC and would be a great piece for any Rolex enthusiast.
