The Rolex Explorer II reference 16570 is one of the most respected modern Rolex sports watches, valued for its robust engineering, practical complications and clean tool-watch aesthetic.

This example features the classic black dial, offering excellent contrast against the luminous hour markers and Mercedes hands. The fixed stainless steel 24-hour bezel works in conjunction with the distinctive red GMT hand, allowing the wearer to track a second time zone - a feature originally designed for explorers operating in environments where distinguishing day from night could be difficult.

Housed in a 40mm stainless steel Oyster case, the watch offers the perfect balance of presence and wearability. The case is paired with the iconic Rolex Oyster bracelet, known for its durability, comfort and timeless styling.

Powering the watch is the Rolex automatic calibre 3185, a highly reliable GMT movement renowned for its precision and robustness.

This particular watch has been fully serviced, inspected and pressure tested, ensuring it is performing exactly as it should.
