Rolex Explorer II 16570 white dial price

In this page we follow closely the market pricing for the Rolex Explorer II 16570 white dial.

This watch has been in the market since 1989 for a total of 22 years. It has been considered often a "sleeper" as the secondary market didn't appreciate the watch as much as they did for other more esteemed lines. The white dial has made this more popular in the pre-owned market, specially thanks to the vintage look the hour marks display by getting slightly darker with maize patina. Also known as "Chicchi di Mais" (corn grains dial in Italian).
