The Rolex Thunderbird "Turn-o-Graph" Datejust was introduced during the 1950s and is the brand's first serially-produced timepiece equipped with a rotatable timing bezel. Preceding iconic professional watches such as the Submariner and GMT Master, the Thunderbird was technically Rolex's first tool watch. It was also notably a military watch, adorning the wrists of the pilots of the US Air Forces' Thunderbird team. The example that is presented here today is a handsome steel and yellow gold variation of the line that also features a yellow gold 60-minute bezel, a two-tone five-piece link Jubilee bracelet, and a sophisticated champagne dial topped with a yellow gold display and an automatically changing date display. If you're in the market for a sophisticated preowned Rolex of great horological importance, the Turn-o-Graph ref. 16263 may be the perfect watch for your wrist.
