We are proud to present this Rolex Explorer II for sale in mint condition, fully checked and authenticated by our workshop team.

Originally introduced in 1971, the Explorer II was designed to cater to the needs of spelunkers and cave explorers, featuring a distinctive 24-hour bezel and an additional hand to distinguish between day and night. Over the years, this iconic Rolex model has evolved while maintaining its core identity, becoming a symbol of adventure and resilience. With its robust construction, advanced technology, and timeless design, the Explorer II continues to captivate watch enthusiasts and adventurers alike, embodying the spirit of exploration that is deeply ingrained in the Rolex heritage.

Lastly, its 10atm (100m/330ft) water resistance is ensured by a Twinlock screwdown crown, with the watch completed by an Oystersteel Oyster link bracelet with a folding Oysterlock safety clasp with Easylink extension.
