Positioned as a transitional model between the iconic vintage reference 1655, also known as the 'Freccione', and its successor, the reference 16570, the 16550 is highly sought after by collectors for its unique blend of vintage and modern features.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe most striking evolution of the 16550 was the introduction of glossy white and black dials adorned with applied 18k white-gold hour marker surrounds. These dials are important for the collectibility of the reference 16550. In particulier the white dials, which were crafted with a unique paint formulation prone to discoloration over time, resulting in a warm creamy patina.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis particular timepiece is a perfect 16550 Explorer II. The dial has gracefully transformed into a delightful warm cream colour.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"relative flex w-full flex-col agent-turn\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"flex-col gap-1 md:gap-3\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"flex flex-grow flex-col max-w-full\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"min-h-[20px] text-message flex flex-col items-start gap-3 whitespace-pre-wrap break-words [.text-message+\u0026amp;]:mt-5 overflow-x-auto\" dir=\"auto\" data-message-author-role=\"assistant\" data-message-id=\"11e9e56e-00d8-4f3f-aea5-ad7ab79c1632\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"markdown prose w-full break-words dark:prose-invert light\"\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Rolex","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55786141319547,"sku":"GW-01-0272","price":17500.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0905\/2910\/4251\/files\/DSC06181-scaled.webp?v=1758795051","url":"https:\/\/singelwatches.com\/products\/rolex-explorer-ii-16550-cream","provider":"Singel Watches","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
