About this watch

Preloved Rolex Explorer II 16570 'Panna Dial' 40MM 1991 Case and Bracelet The case is in excellent condition, showing little to no hairline scratches consistent with careful wear. The lugs remain extremely sharp with factory brushing still clearly visible across the top surfaces, retaining strong definition and original character. The overall case profile is very crisp, with no dents or significant damage observed. The bracelet is also in great condition, displaying very light hairline scratches throughout. It remains structurally sound with good integrity and presents in keeping with the age of the watch.
