About this watch

Rolex Explorer II 16570 Polar 'Pumpkin Dial' This Rolex Explorer II 16570 Polar ‘Pumpkin Dial’ 40mm presents in very good overall condition, retaining strong case lines and a clean Oyster bracelet with minimal wear visible and only slight stretch. The bezel shows light hairlines consistent with careful use but remains sharp and legible. The standout feature is the dial and hands, which have developed an exceptionally rare pumpkin patina, giving the watch a warm, distinctive character that sets it apart from standard Polar examples. Lume plots and hands are evenly aged with no signs of cracking or damage, offering both originality and visual appeal. The crisp white dial contrasts beautifully with the pumpkin tritium tones, enhancing the charm of this early Explorer II reference.
