Rolex Datejust Turn-O-Graph 116263

Pre-Owned Rolex Datejust 36 ref 116263 Slate Dial Thunderbird

This pre-owned Rolex Datejust Turn-O-Graph ref. 116263 (2005–2006), known as the “Thunderbird,” features a 36mm stainless steel and 18k yellow gold case with a bidirectional 18k yellow gold bezel designed for timing functionality. This used model showcases a rich slate dial with luminous index markers and the signature red date wheel at 3 o’clock, adding a bold and distinctive accent. This pre-owned watch is fitted with a two-tone Jubilee bracelet and secure Oysterclasp, delivering a comfortable and refined fit with classic Rolex styling. This used timepiece is powered by the reliable Caliber 3135 automatic movement, blending Datejust heritage with sporty versatility and dependable everyday performance. The Turn-O-Graph traces its roots back to the early 1950s, when Rolex introduced it as the very first Rolex wristwatch with a rotating bezel. Long before the Submariner existed, this was Rolex’s original “tool” watch, designed to time events on the fly while still looking appropriate with a jacket and tie. Even with its sportier aesthetic, the Turn-O-Graph is still very much a Datejust at heart. It has that familiar Oyster case, a self-winding Perpetual movement, and the signature date at 3 o’clock.
