Description from the seller
Rolex Datejust Turn-O-Graph "Thunderbird" – Rose Gold 18k and Steel – 36mm – Ref. 116261 (2006-2007)
A contemporary classic with a vibrant personality. This Rolex Turn-O-Graph, reference 116261, stands out for its sophisticated combination of stainless steel with 18k Rose Gold (Everose). With its iconic black dial punctuated by intense red details, this model is a distinct choice for those seeking a Rolex that combines the historical heritage of the "Thunderbird" models with the elegance of modern precious metals.
Condition
The piece is in excellent condition, displaying care and technical maintenance commensurate with a watch in this category:
Dial: Deep black with impeccable finish. The applied indices and hands are in 18k Rose Gold, creating a luxurious contrast. The seconds hand and the date wheel in red give the sporty touch characteristic of the line.
Bezel: Knurled and unidirectional in 18k Rose Gold. It shows signs of wear and light superficial scratches that respect the metal’s integrity and the natural luster of Everose.
Crystal: Original sapphire crystal. It presents two small scratches located at 1 o’clock and 8 o’clock, which are discreet and only visible under certain lighting angles.
Case: In stainless steel and rose gold, 36mm diameter. Shows signs of use and superficial scratches, maintaining factory polish and brushing well defined.
Bracelet: Oyster model in Rolesor configuration (steel with 18k Rose Gold center links), offering elegant robustness and a perfect fit.
