Pre-Owned 40MM Explorer II Ref.16570 (1997)

A true classic from Rolex’s professional tool watch collection, this Rolex Explorer II Ref. 16570 features the highly collectible glossy black tritium dial marked “SWISS-T<25”, dating production to approximately 1989–1997. Originally designed for explorers and adventurers, the fixed 24-hour bezel and independently adjustable GMT hand allow tracking of a second time zone while distinguishing day from night.

Powered by Rolex’s reliable automatic movement and housed in a durable 40mm Oystersteel case with drilled lug holes, this early-production Explorer II represents one of the most sought-after configurations of the reference. Its timeless design, vintage charm, and increasing collectibility make it equally suited for everyday wear or a serious collection.
