Rolex Reference #16253

Experience the timeless elegance of the Pre-Owned Rolex Datejust Turn-O-Graph, also known as the Thunderbird. Crafted from 18-karat yellow gold and stainless steel, it features a champagne dial, durable acrylic crystal, and screw-down crown. The period-correct rotating bezel and upgraded Jubilee bracelet #62523H add sophistication and style.

Reference #16253, circa 1988, this watch has undergone minimal service, overhaul, and gasket replacement, ensuring optimal performance. It comes with a reassuring 2-year warranty. Please note, the watch is sold without its original box or certification.

First Rotating Bezel: Released in 1953, the Turn-O-Graph was the first Rolex watch to feature a rotating bezel, which allowed wearers to measure elapsed time. This innovation preceded other famous models, including the Submariner.

Thunderbird Nickname: The Rolex Turn-O-Graph gained the nickname "Thunderbird" after being adopted by the U.S. Air Force Thunderbirds, an elite aerobatics squadron, who used the watch for timing their maneuvers. This nickname has stuck, particularly with the Datejust versions.

Visit Jackson Jewelers today to experience this exceptional watch firsthand and explore its impeccable condition.
