Description
A perfect blend of classic Rolex elegance and functional sportiness, the Datejust Turn-O-Graph Ref. 116263 stands out with its unique identity in the Rolex lineup. Housed in a 36mm stainless steel case with a striking 18k yellow gold fluted bezel, this piece revives the legacy of the original Turn-O-Graph—Rolex’s first rotating bezel tool watch, also known as the “Thunderbird.”
Its champagne dial (or variation, depending on the model) pairs seamlessly with luminous hour markers and a date window magnified by the iconic Cyclops lens. The yellow gold rotating bezel isn’t just eye-catching—it adds timing functionality, making this Datejust subtly sporty without losing its formal charm.
Powered by the Rolex Caliber 3135 automatic movement, the 116263 offers superb precision and reliability. Mounted on a two-tone Oyster bracelet, it balances durability with everyday elegance.
This example is from 2008, In Pre-Owned Condition with Box and Papers.
