Description: Rolex Datejust Thunderbird 16263
Pre-owned Rolex Datejust ref 16263 (1987 - 1988) is known as the Rolex Thunderbird. As the story goes, Rolex supplied Datejust Turn-o-Graphs to the American Thunderbird U.S. Air Force demonstration team throughout the 1950s and 1960s. They were essentially traditional Datejust dress watches, but with a rotatable bezel, not too unlike the two-tone Rolex for sale here. While early examples were also emblazoned with the Thunderbird logo, this ref. 16253 is a much more approachable example of the famed Rolex. Features include traditional Datejust design elements, such as a champagne dial, a date display at 3 o'clock, and a 5-piece link Jubilee bracelet.
