A subtle evolution in Rolex’s sport watch lineup, the Explorer II reference 16570 has become increasingly appreciated by collectors—especially early tritium-dial versions that have developed warm, creamy patinas over time. This T-series example from 1997 is a perfect case in point. The watch features an original tritium dial that has aged to a beautiful ivory hue, offering a soft contrast against the black text and markers. The hour, minute, and 24-hour hands also show natural aging, with slight shrinkage and hairline cracks in the luminous material, contributing to the watch’s untouched vintage character. The second hand is a later Luminova service replacement. The stainless steel case has recently been polished and presents in excellent condition, preserving its crisp geometry. The fixed steel bezel is clean and sharply defined, showing minimal signs of wear. The watch is fitted with its original 78790 Oyster bracelet with 501B endlinks and a Z11 clasp code, showing only light stretch from use. The movement has just been serviced by our watchmaker and is running flawlessly. An honest and attractive early Explorer II with a rare ivory-toned tritium dial—perfect for collectors who value original charm and nuanced aging in their sports Rolex.
