✦ Review Notes | Curator's Note

Watch Model: Rolex Datejust "Turfgrass" Turn-O-Graph 16263 Automatic

Condition: Rare K-series (circa 2001) unused stock (NOS), some original protective film still intact. 36mm two-tone case, equipped with a unique 18K gold rotating bidirectional chronograph bezel and five-link bracelet.

Key Selling Points: The Turn-O-Graph (affectionately known as the "Climbing Ivy" by enthusiasts) is one of Rolex's most distinctive crossover masterpieces. It breaks away from the Datejust's traditionally refined image, incorporating a rotating bezel typically found only in sports models, giving the Datejust an unprecedented sense of tooling and mechanical beauty. This 16263 features a classic champagne gold dial and gold hands, exuding a powerful presence against the backdrop of an 18K gold fluted bezel (rotating version). Inside, it houses the iconic 3135 movement. As a complete set of paper-made collectibles that remains unused and in its original condition after more than 20 years, its rarity is enough to make any seasoned Rolex enthusiast take notice.

Attachments: Original watch box, paper warranty card (starting with K), instruction manual, red and green double hang tags (top-tier complete set).

Authoritative Guarantee: Dual authentication by CCIC and Xu Butian, lifetime support for verification at authorized stores.

"In the long history of Rolex, the 'Ivy League' is a dazzling and unique gem. It is more powerful than the ordinary DJ and more exquisite than the Submariner. This K-series 16263, appearing in a near-perfect 'frozen' state more than 20 years later, is not only a miracle of time but also the ultimate embodiment of a collector's taste. Priced at over 50,000 yuan, what you buy is a piece of glorious, out-of-print history, and even more so, the unique honor of wearing a watch on your wrist that you will never see again."
