Description from the seller

Rolex Datejust Ref.16263 Turn-o-Graph B+P

This men’s Rolex 16263 transcends the boundaries of a traditional DateJust watch. It’s also known as the “Thunderbird” or “Turn-o-Graph,” representing a pivotal piece of Rolex watch history. Originally released in the 1950s, the Thunderbird was the pioneering Rolex model to introduce a rotating timing ring and the first Rolex sports watch to feature a two-tone finish.

The watch proudly showcases the iconic Cyclops date at the 3 o’clock mark, complemented by yellow gold Roman numeral hour markers and Tritium lume plots on the dial. Safeguarded by sapphire crystal and a screw-down crown, it guarantees years of dependable performance from the automatic cal. 3135 movement.

Complete with its original box and papers, and adorned with a 36mm Oyster case, an 18K bidirectional rotating bezel, and a steel/gold Oyster bracelet with a classic folding clasp, this timepiece not only offers exceptional comfort but also exudes timeless elegance. Additional, it comes with the original box and papers!
