Rolex 16264 Thunderbird Blue Dial, 18K White Gold & SS Case, Just Serviced, Nice

Description: On offer today is a Rolex 16264 "Thunderbird," a sport luxury version of the famous Oyster Perpetual Datejust chronometer. Rare (and beautiful) blue dial, 18K white gold rotating timing bezel, stainless steel case. It has the extremely comfortable "Jubilee" bracelet. This item has been recently serviced by Rolex and is in great condition. If you're interested in this you probably know the origin of the style -- Rolex started making these as initiation mementos for the highly-skilled US Air Force's "Thunderbirds" air acrobatics team. The style caught on, as it is a brilliant marriage of performance and legibility to style and gracefulness. Rolex later offered them in limited numbers more broadly, never officially calling it the "Thunderbird" -- that name is of course trademarked -- but everyone who needed to know, knew the origin, and the nickname stuck much better than the official "Turn-o-Graph Datejust." I particularly like the Thunderbird's size. Too many Men's watches these days are like pie-plates strapped to the wrist. The Thunderbird is perfectly sized, large enough to be easily readable, but looks like it belongs on a wrist and not a dashboard. I also like the style, sleek and versatile. It really is a go-anywhere watch, sporty enough to wear during activity, dressy enough for a suit or tux, eye-catching and yet subtle. I was given this watch by my Father as a graduation present, and as I am now retired it's time for another new graduate to have the privilege of caring for it. If you were only allowed to own one watch, this would be a fantastic choice. The Rolex Thunderbird is a perfect addition to any dress or formal occasion. With its sleek design and versatile style, it is sure to make a statement on any wrist. Don't miss out on the opportunity to own this beautiful piece!
