Rolex Explorer II, reference 16570, the classic 40mm \"Polar\" configuration with the white lacquer dial, black-surround markers, and the red 24-hour hand against a fixed stainless 24-hour bezel. Serial number dates production to 1998 to 1999. Automatic movement, quickset date, sapphire crystal, and the stainless Oyster bracelet with the flip-lock Oysterlock clasp.This is a genuine, honestly-worn example. It shows light marks consistent with age and normal wear (please study all photos closely, as they form part of the description). The case retains its lines, the bezel and dial are clean, and the crown and clasp both carry correct Rolex coronet engravings.Included: • The watch on its Oyster bracelet
• Original green Rolex Explorer box and Explorer booklet
• Two spare bracelet links (pictured)
• A formal insurance appraisal (details below)Provenance and appraisal: I purchased this watch in 2020 from Capetown Diamond Corporation, an established Atlanta-area dealer (Roswell, Georgia) that has specialized in fine Swiss watches and jewelry for decades and is a long-standing, highly-rated seller in the watch trade. In January 2026 the watch was formally appraised by Capetown at a retail replacement value of $8,100.00 for insurance purposes. This is a replacement-cost figure for insurance, not a resale quote, but it documents the piece and its specifications from a professional source. I am happy to share a copy of the signed appraisal document with the winning buyer.Reason for sale: simply changing up my collection and funding the next watch. It has served me well and is being sold running and in good working order.Ships fully insured. I\'m glad to answer questions or provide additional photos.
