Rolex Explorer II

Watch Information:

Discover this superb Rolex Explorer II reference 16570, an iconic model from 2005 prized for its "Polar" aesthetic and legendary robustness. Designed for explorers, this watch perfectly combines technical functionality and timeless elegance.

Thanks to a red hand, the 3185 GMT caliber can display a different time zone than the local time indicated by the hour hand.

Distinguished from other 16570s by a "Swiss Made" dial, it benefits from post-2000 production techniques using Luminova instead of tritium for optimal legibility. The black-rimmed markers and contrasting hands offer exceptional clarity, characteristic of the "Polar" version.

Unlike newer 42mm versions, its 40mm case retains classic and discreet proportions, ideal for all wrists.
Whether you are an investor or a lover of fine watchmaking, this white dial Explorer II represents a safe bet.
