The first Rolex to receive a rotating timing bezel was the Datejust Turn-o-Graph, aka Thunderbird. At the time of its release, the Turn-o-Graph was an innovation that would pave the way for Rolex's impressive professional series. Its feature set is equal parts tool watch and dress watch and includes a classic 36mm Oyster case and a five-piece link Jubilee bracelet. The movement that beats within the case offers self-winding and an automatically changing date display. The ref. 16253 that you see here also features a stunning two-tone steel and yellow gold finish, making this exquisite edition of the Datejust Turn-o-Graph an ideal companion for any occasion.
