Typology: Vintage sport watch
Year: 1998

The Rolex Explorer II was introduced in 1971 as tool watch designed for adventurers, spelunkers, and professionals working in environments where distinguishing day from night was essential.

The present example is a Rolex Explorer II Ref. 16570 with a striking black dial, serial U5xxxxx, correctly dating the watch to 1998. Accompanied by its original Rolex box, this example is preserved in excellent condition, showing no signs of over-polishing, with crisp case proportions and sharp lugs. Its black dial maintains the correct tritium execution, complemented by the signature orange-red 24-hour hand. Powered by the reliable Caliber 3185, this reference delivers precision and robustness, qualities that define Rolex tool watches.

This Explorer II embodies both utility and collectability: a versatile sports Rolex that bridges vintage charm with modern reliability, making it a compelling choice for enthusiasts who value originality, completeness, and enduring design.
