Rolex Explorer 2
Ref. 16570
This is a 1997 Rolex Explorer II, Reference 16570, in the black dial configuration. The black dial is the less common of the two 16570 variants, offering a darker, more purposeful look than the white Polar dial that often draws more attention.
The 16570 generation is well regarded among collectors for combining classical Rolex proportions with the durability of a modern sports watch. The 1997 production date places this example in the heart of the neo-vintage era, before the case and bracelet revisions of later generations.
Condition: Pre-owned. Buyers should expect honest wear consistent with a watch of this age and use. No service history or additional condition details are available beyond what is stated here.
