A reference so rare you’ve probably never even heard of it. This is the Turn-O-Graph 16258.
Every day brings something new to the Rolex vintage world. We’ve been working with rare pieces for almost 20 years now, but we never had our hands on a 16258 TOG before. Not at auctions, meetings, or trade shows. That’s how rare these things are.
The case is in wonderful condition. It has been lightly polished in the past but to an exceptional standard. As a result, the case shows perfect proportions, beautifully sharp edges and a gorgeous matte finish on the top of the case. There are minimal signs of wear, but no deep scratches, dents, or anything lika that.
The gold tapestry dial is great. It harmonizes perfectly with the Turn-O-Graph bezel and gives the watch a distinctive look. It was relumed once during a Rolex service, but we were happy to leave it as it is because, as mentioned, the look is simply great.
The gold tapestry dial is wonderful. The hands are equally wonderful, also relumed, and thus perfectly match the dial in color.
A Turn-O-Graph features a special bezel. This bezel rotates in both directions, making it unique among classic Rolex models like Datejusts and Day-Dates. The gold bezel displays perfect engraving and numerals. It shows minimal signs of wear and may be unpolished. In any case, it is perfectly sharp, just like the day it was made.
The watch comes on a brand-new leather strap with a gold-plated, unbranded buckle.
Conclusion: If you’re looking for something extraordinary, if you’re looking for a watch that will surprise even the most informed Rolex collectors, then you’ve found it.
