The Rolex "Thunderbird" Datejust is an often overlooked model that is most notable for being the brand's first serially-produced timepiece outfitted with a rotatable timing bezel. The model is of considerable significance to Rolex's history and makes a great addition to any well-rounded luxury watch collection. In addition to showcasing a rotatable 60-minute bezel in textured gold, the ref. 16253 also boasts a classic Datejust feature set via an automatically changing date display on the dial, a Perpetual movement with self-winding technology and a COSC certification, a 36mm waterproof Oyster case, and a five-link Jubilee bracelet in steel and gold.
