Rolex Explorer II Polar Dial 216570 

A modern update to the long enduring 16570, the Explorer II 216570 is quite a different piece aesthetically to its forebears. Now featuring a 42mm steel case with maxi dial, it's a proper tool watch with GMT capability for those that perhaps find the 40/41mm range a touch small for their tastes. The Explorer II also one of the more under-the-radar sports pieces, and always has been, which definitely has its own appeal for those wanting to enjoy their watch without the attention some of the other more recent models attract.

Featuring a 42mm Oystersteel case topped with a stunning sunburst 24-hour fixed bezel, it houses a white maxi-dial with orange second timezone hand, and is powered by the calibre 3187.

This particular piece dates from 2011 presents in TZ 'Good' condition. The case has scratching present on the sides, and a few minor nicks on the sides and tops of the lugs from strap changes which is the reason for the 'Good' rather than 'Very Good' grading on the TZ scale. Bezel shows some rub marks and small scratches. Caseback shows some scratches, and rear of the lugs show minor marks. Please see images for full condition details.

Bracelet shows desk dive marks throughout. Contains 10 links, and will fit roughly a 7.5in wrist.

Was serviced in 2022 by highly respected independent watchmaker, Woods Watchmaking. Currently keeping COSC time, and all functions operating as they should. 

Unfortunately the current owner has misplaced the box, papers and accessories. Comes as watch-only, with a copy of the service receipt.
