The Rolex Explorer II 16570 was first introduced in 1989. It was in production for over 20 years and is a testimony of the transition from the vintage to the modern production. As an example, it went from tritium to luminova and superluminova as luminescent material.

Extremely reliable and the perfect companion, it is no surprise that the 16570 has gained lots of attention from the market in the recent years. The watch was available either with a white or a black dial, such as this lot, which is more faithful to the original 1655 ‘Steve McQueen’ model.

This example is preserved in attractive condition and is part of the ultimate evolution of the model, with a 'Swiss Made' dial, matching its K serial number. It is further distinguished by being accompanied by a most complete set including its original Rolex Guarantee, presentation case, outer packaging, hang tag.
