Description

Discover a masterpiece of horological engineering with this exclusive 2008 Rolex Explorer II 16570, featuring the distinctive white dial affectionately termed the "Polar". This particular model stands out with its rare caliber 3186 movement, a mechanism that saw a limited production run, making this timepiece a distinctly unique find for any watch enthusiast or collector. The Rolex Explorer II 16570 Polar boasts a generous 40mm case size, providing a bold, assertive presence on the wrist. Cleverly constructed from rugged stainless steel, the case ensures durability and resilience, an essential companion for life's most challenging adventures. This timepiece is in excellent condition, a testament not only to its exacting construction standards but also to the care and attention it has received from its previous owners. Rolex first introduced the Explorer line back in the 1970s. Originally inspired by the brand's enduring dedication to exploration, the Rolex Explorer was born out of the adventurous spirit of the Himalayan explorers. The model has seen several significant transformations over the decades, eventually culminating in the iconic and much-loved Explorer II, the reference 16570 model. This watch houses one of Rolex’s most powerful automatic movements, the formidable Calibre 3186. Equipped with a 44-hour power reserve, this high-performance caliber guarantees precision timing, ensuring the watch reliably keeps time even when not worn for a couple of days. One of the standout features of this Rolex Explorer II is the additional 24-hour hand and a fixed 24 hr bezel, perfectly designed to keep track of time in two different time zones simultaneously. The Rolex Explorer II 16570 Polar also features the classic Rolex Oyster bracelet, model 78790. This style of bracelet is renowned for its robustness and comfort, providing not only a secure grip around the wrist but also ensures a comfortable fit for prolonged wear. As one would expect from a watch of this pedigree, the Explorer II delivers impressive resistance to water, with a guaranteed waterproof rating up to a depth of 330 feet (or 100 meters). Such resistance makes this watch an ideal option not only for explorers and adventurers but also for anyone with an active lifestyle or passion for water sports. Invest in this remarkable 2008 Rolex Explorer II 16570 white "Polar" model and enjoy the perfect blend of robust functionality, timeless style, and a piece of horological history.
