Rol.6988

This 1986 Rolex Explorer II features a 40mm stainless steel case paired with the iconic Oyster bracelet, creating a rugged yet refined look. The black dial with luminous round and baton hour markers, bold black hands, and the signature orange 24-hour hand, all framed by a fixed stainless steel bezel engraved with 24-hour markers. 

First introduced in 1971, the Rolex Explorer II was designed specifically for spelunkers and explorers needing a reliable 24-hour display in low-light conditions. The reference 16550, produced in the mid-1980s, introduced a white dial option and upgraded movement, becoming a highly collectible model among enthusiasts. The Explorer II continues to embody Rolex’s legacy of precision, durability, and innovative tool-watch design.

This watch has been checked against technical records to guarantee authenticity and clean history. 

Comes with original box.
