The Rolex Explorer II ref. 216570 is built for function first, and the white “Polar” dial is what gives it its cult following. Designed for explorers and adventurers, the 42mm Oystersteel case features a fixed 24-hour bezel and an oversized orange GMT hand for tracking a second time zone or distinguishing day from night. This 2017 example is pre-owned and comes complete with its original box and papers.
Under the hood, there is the Calibre 3187, offering a 50-hour power reserve and Rolex’s trademark reliability. A modern classic in the professional Rolex lineup, the Explorer II is a no-nonsense watch that wears just as well in everyday life as it does off the beaten path.
