Datejust Turn-O-Graph

Rolex | Ref. 1625

Sold

Thunderbird

From the distinctive Turn-O-Graph line – the Rolex Datejust Ref. 1625, also known as the “Thunderbird”. A model that combines the classic elegance of the Datejust with sporty functionality and is unmistakable thanks to its distinctive rotating bezel.

The stainless steel case is in very good condition and shows only light signs of wear. The lugs are still fat for the age of the watch. The case was refinished in the past.

The original tritium dial is also in very good condition; the luminous dots have developed an even, dark patina that gives the dial a warmer appearance. The original tritium leaf hands are in very good condition and perfectly complement the aesthetics of this vintage Datejust.

The original “Big Logo” Jubilee bracelet, stamped 1/65, is particularly noteworthy, as is the case back with Roman I/65 – the original bracelet matching the watch, as it was delivered in 1965.

Inside beats the proven Rolex Calibre 1560, an automatic movement with chronometer certification that is renowned for its robustness and precision.

An exceptional Datejust for collectors of rare and special variants. Anyone looking for an unusual Datejust with character and originality will find it here.

The watch has been fully serviced by our atelier.
