Rolex Datejust Turn-O-Graph

Ref 116264

A distinctive and increasingly sought-after Rolex Datejust Turn-O-Graph, reference 116264, dating to approximately 2005–2006 from its D-series serial.

Often nicknamed the “Thunderbird,” the Turn-O-Graph combines classic Datejust styling with a rotating 60-minute bezel. This example features a grey dial with applied hour markers, red seconds hand, red date wheel and matching red Turn-O-Graph signature.

The 36mm Oyster case houses Rolex’s dependable automatic calibre 3135, offering quick-set date adjustment and approximately 48 hours of power reserve. Other features include a sapphire crystal with Cyclops date magnifier and 100 metres of water resistance.

Presented in very good condition for its age. We have left the watch unpolished but it has been polished before.. The dial and crystal remain clean, while the case, bezel and bracelet show surface marks consistent with careful use. Wears nicely on wrist (I know as I’ve worn it since I got it)
