Median price per month or quarter. A point needs at least 3 records in its month or quarter; a gap in a line means too few records, and nothing is filled in. Forum prices are the price a seller listed on Reddit r/Watchexchange, RolexForums or WatchUSeek when the post was marked sold, not a confirmed sale price. Historical context only: these series do not feed the price shown above.

About the Explorer II 16570 (Polar dial)

The Rolex Explorer II 16570 (Polar dial) is a reference in the Rolex Explorer II collection. Rolex made it from 1989 to 2010. From our catalog: a 40 mm case in Stainless steel; bezel: Fixed satin-finished stainless steel 24-hour bezel; dial: White ('Polar') with black-outlined hands and markers; movement: Calibre 3185, later calibre 3186. The specifications below list every fact we have sourced for this reference; anything we could not source is marked as not known.

What the sales say

Our record for the 16570 covers about 36 months of sales, October 2023 to October 2026, and 403 of those results stand behind the current figure (392 eBay sales and 11 auction results). March 2026 saw the most activity, 42 sales in a single month. On the auction side, the results are from Grailzee, Sotheby's and Dr. Crott (Auktionen Dr. H. Crott). Few references earn our top rating; this one does, thanks to a dense and consistent stream of results. Fresh evidence keeps arriving: the last result landed within fourteen days of this update. Its 59 sales in the last 90 days agree closely, so the volatility label is Stable. A fair price for the 16570 can sit anywhere from about 25% below to 25% above the midpoint. It trades often, so older sales fade quickly (a half-life of 30 days).

Twelve months on, the typical sale has gained about 10.3% against the year before. Over the long run, using forum listings marked sold (listed prices, not confirmed sales), the last twelve months are up 160% on 2009, the first year with enough records; the highest point in that record came in 2022. By channel, eBay sales come in about 8% below auction results for this reference (214 eBay sales against 10 auction results). Part of any gap is the buyer's premium inside auction prices.

Missing the box and papers costs about 12% on this reference, going by 21 bare-watch sales across its line. Paperwork varied: 191 complete, 13 bare, 106 incomplete, 4 described as never worn. Unworn full sets sell about 5% above worn ones across our data, so an unworn example sits above the headline. The floor of the list (April 11, 2025, on eBay, set not stated) is about 41% below the worth-about figure, and its ceiling (February 9, 2026, on eBay, unworn, partial set) is about 69% above the worth-about figure.
