The Rolex Explorer II ref. 16570 is one of the most respected modern Rolex tool watches, known for its robust GMT functionality and clean, highly legible design. This example features the classic Polar white dial with black surrounds and the signature red GMT hand, paired with the brushed stainless steel 24-hour bezel.
This particular watch is a K-serial from approximately 2001 and is presented in New Old Stock (NOS) condition, remaining stickered and unworn — an increasingly rare find for this reference.
