Rolex Datejust Turn-O-Graph Thunderbird 16264 - 2002










Rolex Datejust Turn-O-Graph Thunderbird 16264 - 2002
Absolutely stunning Rolex Turn-O-graph 'Thunderbird' up for grabs.
Why Thunderbird you ask? Well, an earlier iteration of this watch was chosen by the U.S. Air Force’s Thunderbird aerobatic squadron as their official pilot’s watch. Hence, 'Thunderbird’. As an added bit of history, the Turnograph is also considered to be Rolex's first tool watch. Very cool indeed.
One of the nicest Datejusts of it's era, featuring an amazing combination of sport with the Oyster bracelet and a touch of bling from the white gold bezel...the perfect watch to slip between sport and dress.
This particular example hails from 2002, and presents in near-mint condition with the only signs of wear being very minor swirlies on the polished surfaces, and the lightest of marks on the clasp.
No history available, but winds smoothly, date change is crisp, and runs very well.
Comes with Outer box, inner box, instruction manual, hangtag, case back sticker, card and document holders, and stamped papers.
