No Reserve - 1997 (U Serial) Rolex Explorer II "Polar" 40MM White Dial Oyster Bracelet (16570)
This timepiece is in vintage condition. This auction pertains exclusively to the watch, as the box and papers are not part of the listing.
The Rolex Explorer II “Polar” (16570) is a rugged and highly regarded tool watch designed for explorers and adventurers. Crafted from stainless steel, the 40mm case features a fixed 24-hour bezel and is paired with the robust Oyster bracelet for durability and comfort. Its crisp white “Polar” dial offers excellent contrast with black-outlined luminous hour markers and hands, along with the signature orange 24-hour hand that allows the wearer to track a second time zone and distinguish day from night—an essential feature for cave explorers and polar expeditions. Powered by the reliable Rolex Caliber 3185 or later Caliber 3186 automatic movement, the watch delivers precise timekeeping and a power reserve of approximately 48 hours. Water-resistant to 100 meters and protected by a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal, the Explorer II 16570 has become a favorite among collectors for its clean design, practicality, and enduring connection to Rolex’s exploration heritage.
This watch has been tested and authenticated by Bennisson Watch Repair.
