Ref. 226570
A superb example of the iconic Rolex Explorer II ref. 226570, presented in stainless steel with the highly sought-after white “Polar” dial and signature black hour markers.
Introduced to mark the 50th anniversary of the Explorer II, the 226570 combines Rolex’s unmistakable tool-watch heritage with a modern 42mm case and the robustness expected from a professional Rolex sports watch. The crisp white dial provides excellent contrast against the black hands and markers, while the distinctive orange GMT hand adds the Explorer II’s instantly recognisable character.
The watch is fitted with Rolex’s Oyster bracelet, giving it a versatile and timeless appearance that works equally well as an everyday watch or as part of a serious collection.
The Explorer II has long been regarded as one of Rolex’s most distinctive professional models. Designed originally for explorers and cave researchers, its 24-hour display and independent GMT hand provide genuine functionality while giving the watch a unique identity within the Rolex sports collection.
The 226570 is particularly desirable for its modern proportions, updated movement and refined Oyster bracelet, while retaining the unmistakable Polar Explorer II aesthetic.
A fantastic opportunity to own one of Rolex’s most recognisable and versatile professional sports watches.
