If you seek a Rolex watch with story and character, consider adding the two-tone Datejust Thunderbird to your watch box. Introduced in 1953, the Datejust Thunderbird was the first Rolex to offer a rotatable bezel, and as a result, was also the first tool watch added to the Rolex catalog. Rolex took inspiration from the US Air Force's Aerobatic team "The Thunderbirds" when they developed the namesake Datejust, also making it the first Rolex pilot's watch. The bezel is also referred to as the "Turn-o-Graph" and holds a special place in Rolex history. This two-tone reference 16263 is a handsome variation to consider, as it blends classic Datejust style with steel and valuable yellow gold.
