An extraordinary time capsule — this Rolex Explorer II ref. 16570 with black dial is a New Old Stock (NOS) piece, preserved in untouched condition with all original factory stickers still on, including caseback and clasp. Fully unsized and unworn, it's an ultra-rare find for collectors who seek pristine originality.

Featuring a rich black gloss dial with sharp white hour markers and the iconic red GMT hand, this early Explorer II delivers timeless aesthetics and pure tool-watch spirit. Inside ticks the reliable Rolex Caliber 3185, offering independent GMT functionality and a smooth 28,800 vph beat — not chronometer-certified in this early iteration, but no less precise or robust.

Sold originally in Italy, this example comes with a complete full set, including outer and inner box, Italian Rolex Warranty paper, serialized tag, booklets, and accessories — all untouched.

Unpolished and sealed under its original stickers, this ref. 16570 is not just rare — it’s preserved in the exact state it left the retailer, over two decades ago. A pure investment-grade piece and a true museum-quality Rolex.
