The Turn-O-Graph is one of the most sought-after Datejust variants, distinguished by its rotating 'Thunderbird' bezel that adds a functional elapsed-time element to the Datejust's classic lines. Reference 1625 from around 1966 is a rare and characterful vintage piece that appeals to collectors who value both its history and its distinctive design. It is an unusual and engaging watch for the discerning vintage enthusiast.

The silver dial is set with applied index markers and carries a Rolex crown, a date aperture at 3 o'clock, and "Oyster Perpetual Datejust" and "Superlative Chronometer" text. The 36mm stainless steel case features the rotating Thunderbird bezel and is presented on a stainless steel Rolex Jubilee bracelet. There is light wear to the bezel and bracelet, hairline marks throughout, and chips to the plexi at 8 and 3 o'clock. The movement is currently running, the crown winds and sets the time, and the date changes over at 12 o'clock.
