2002 Rolex 16570 Explorer II Polar Full Set

$10,099.99
sold out

2002 Rolex Explorer II Polar

Reference: 16570 • 40mm • Polar Dial • Full Set

OVERVIEW

The Rolex Explorer II 16570 Polar is one of the most respected neo-vintage sports watches produced by Rolex, combining practical GMT functionality with the timeless appeal of its iconic white "Polar" dial. As collector interest in five-digit Rolex references continues to grow, the 16570 has become one of the most sought-after references in the Explorer II lineage.

This example features the highly desirable white Polar dial paired with a 40mm stainless steel case and fixed 24-hour bezel. Compared to modern Rolex sports watches, the 16570 offers slimmer proportions, a lighter wrist presence, and the classic tool-watch character that has made the reference a favorite among collectors and enthusiasts.

Powering the watch is Rolex's Caliber 3185 automatic GMT movement, providing independent GMT functionality, chronometer-certified accuracy, and the reliability that helped establish the Explorer II as a trusted companion for travelers and adventurers.

This 2002 example is offered as a complete full set and represents an excellent opportunity to acquire one of Rolex's most collectible modern sports watches.
