Forum rows are posts on Reddit r/Watchexchange, RolexForums and WatchUSeek that the seller marked sold. The amount is the listed price when marked sold, not a confirmed sale price, and forum rows do not feed our price.

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.

The Explorer II 216570 at a glance

The Explorer II 216570 pairs a 42 mm case with stainless steel. Rolex made it from 2011 to 2021, and it is now discontinued, so every example on the market is pre-owned.

What our catalog records for it:

  • Case: 42 mm, stainless steel.
  • Bezel: fixed radial-brushed stainless steel 24-hour bezel.
  • Movement: calibre 3187.
  • Production: 2011 to 2021.

It is one of 6 references in our Explorer II catalog. If you are weighing alternatives, see Explorer II 226570 (Oystersteel), Explorer II 1655 (stainless steel) and Explorer II 16570 (stainless steel).

Our current figures for the 216570:

  • Fair value now: $7,000–$11,600.
  • Midpoint of recent market prices: $9,300.
  • Newest observation: October 15, 2026.
  • Observations behind the estimate: 542.

What affects the price

Condition. Here is how condition splits the sales we have (a grade with too few sales shows no range):

  • Unworn examples: $8,400–$11,400.
  • Excellent condition: $7,800–$10,600.
  • Good condition: $7,900–$10,700.
  • Fair condition: not enough market data yet.

Movement. It runs on the calibre 3187. A recent service with paperwork helps a sale; an overdue one is often priced into offers.

Box and papers. Papers that match the serial number make the 216570 far easier to sell.

Polishing. Many steel watches have been polished at least once. Ask how often, because each polish takes metal off the lugs.

Bezel. The bezel is recorded as fixed radial-brushed stainless steel 24-hour bezel; dings on the bezel are easy to see in photos and buyers notice them.

Retail reference. We don't show a list price for this reference, because we only publish one we can confirm from a source we can cite.

Twelve-month change. Change over the past year: +4.6% over 12 months.

Tips for buyers

  • Match the reference number on the papers (216570) with the watch, and check the 42 mm case.
  • Have a watchmaker confirm the calibre 3187 inside.
  • Look at the bezel (fixed radial-brushed stainless steel 24-hour bezel) for damage or replacement parts.
  • Look at the lugs and case sides for heavy polishing.
  • Buy with a return period, and use it to get an independent inspection.

Tips for sellers

  • Shoot the watch in daylight from the front, both sides and the back.
  • Don't polish the case before selling.
  • Collect the box, papers and any service records before you ask for offers.
  • Use the published price data on this page as a starting point, and get more than one offer.
