Special notice On lots marked with an + in the catalogue, VAT will be charged at 8% on both the premium as well as the hammer price. With Rolex punched Garantie and stamped by Zurich Watch Co. in Kowloon on 17 July 1986. Among collectors, the present watch with ivory-coloured dial is without doubt the most sought-after version of all reference 16550 watches. This ivory/cream dial is special both because of its very warm and eye-pleasing tone and because of the way the "Superlative Chronometer Officially Certified" is displayed. Also known as "rail dial" it is distinguished by the symmetric division of the two lines below the centre: "Superlative" and "Officially" to the left, clearly separated by a vertical space (thus "rail"), and "Chronometer" and "Certified" to the right. While dials in white and black exist for this fine Explorer II reference, the "ivory rail dial" model was produced in a very small series only.

Collectible Features |Rolex Explorer II 16550

Discover all the different variants of this specific reference that can enhance, or limit, this watch's value and collectability.
Pumpkin Patina
Lume plots that have aged to a distinct orange or pumpkin-like color.
Nipple Dial
The "nipple dial" is a term used to describe a specific type of dial found on certain vintage Rolex watches, particularly the Rolex GMT-Master and Submariner models from the 1970s and 1980s. The distinguishing feature of a nipple dial is its hour markers: instead of the usual flat or applied markers, these dials have raised, gold-trimmed markers that resemble small "nipples." These markers are typically made of gold and are filled with luminous material, allowing them to be easily read in low-light conditions. The nipple dial is considered highly desirable among collectors due to its distinctive look and its association with vintage Rolex models.
Frog Foot
Crown resembling a frog's foot.
