Explorer II

Rolex | Ref. 16570

Sold

POLAR TIMES

The watch was purchased in January 2012 from Rolex dealer Böhnlein in Bayreuth and remained in a safe for the next 10 years. This now gives us the opportunity to offer you this rare piece.

As the watch was only kept in the safe and never worn, all the adhesives on the case and bracelet are still intact.

The watch comes as a full set: warranty card, card holder, instruction manual, translation booklet, Rolex seal, Rolex hangtag, outer box, box, and case - everything is included. As an additional bonus, the second owner's invoice for the watch is also included. This owner purchased the 2012 Explorer from a grey market dealer in Duisburg.

Extremely rare in this condition and with this scope of delivery.

Collector's item with appreciation potential.
