Rolex 16264 Datejust Turn-O-Graph SS Silver Dial Circa. 2000

The Rolex Datejust Turn-O-Graph ref. 16264 is a compelling late 20th century interpretation of one of the brand's most historically important tool-adjacent designs. Produced during the 1990s and early 2000s, this reference carries the distinctive Turn-O-Graph identity with its bidirectional graduated bezel, here executed in 18K white gold over a stainless steel case. In silver stick-dial form, it offers a restrained and highly versatile aesthetic that sits comfortably between sport and dress, which is exactly where the Turn-O-Graph has always been most appealing. The 36mm case preserves classic Datejust proportions, while the rotating bezel adds a layer of functionality and visual depth absent from standard Datejust references of the era. Powering the watch is the Rolex caliber 3135, one of the brand's most respected automatic movements, prized for its durability, serviceability, and long-term reliability. The ref. 16264 is not a limited edition and was not produced for a specific country or boutique, which makes its appeal more purely reference-driven for collectors who understand the line's significance. Within the broader Datejust family, the Turn-O-Graph occupies a particularly interesting niche as a bridge between Rolex's everyday Oyster models and its more purpose-built professional watches. Collectors continue to value the 16264 for its transitional character, its traditional 36mm sizing, and the added presence of the white gold bezel. For buyers seeking a nuanced Rolex with genuine historical relevance beyond the standard Datejust formula, the 16264 remains an underappreciated and highly wearable choice. Like New with Rolex box.
