	The 16570 is the long-run modern Explorer II. Produced from 1989 through roughly 2011, it replaced the short-run 16550 and held the reference slot for twenty-two years before the 42mm 216570 took over. Two dial options, matte black and a crisp white called Polar. The case is 40mm steel with a fixed 24-hour bezel, sapphire crystal with Cyclops, and a true GMT movement with independent local-hour setting. Four distinguishable production versions split it by case, dial-printing, lume, and caliber. The 16570 is a slow-moving watch in a Rolex line that otherwise prefers sudden breaks, and that slow drift is what gives it the internal map collectors now rely on.

The 16570 is also the point where the Explorer II stops being a niche complication and becomes a real collector reference. The reference is modern enough that clean examples still surface and old enough that the early-run tritium watches have started behaving like vintage. The black dial reads as a GMT on a fixed bezel; the Polar reads as nothing else in the Rolex line.

Caliber 3185 powered the 16570 for the majority of its run, from 1989 through late 2006. The 3185 is a 28,800 vph automatic with 31 jewels, roughly 50-hour power reserve, hacking seconds, and an independently-setting local hour hand. That independent hour is the complication that makes this a true GMT rather than the linked-hand system used on the earlier <code>1655</code>. The hour hand is what the wearer repositions on arrival; the 24-hour hand keeps home time on the fixed bezel. Caliber 3185 powered the 16570 for the majority of its run, from 1989 through late 2006.

The reference has not seen the kind of auction-level escalation that lifted the five-digit Submariner or Daytona vintage references over the last decade. Phillips catalog attention has run toward earlier Explorer II lots, with the 1655 carrying the lot essays, while Sotheby's and Bonhams carry the 16570 auction record. The 16570 still has market room as a watch that earned its reputation slowly and is only now drawing sustained collector attention as the earliest examples cross the thirty-year mark.
