Historical Context
The Rolex Turn-O-Graph ref. 1625 represents the evolution of the line introduced in the 1950s as Rolex’s first sport-oriented model featuring a rotating bezel. By the 1970s, it had established itself as a sophisticated alternative to the Datejust, retaining the classic 36 mm Oyster case while adding character through the gold rotating bezel. This 1973 example, presented in steel and yellow gold with original black dial and correct bracelet, is an ideal choice for collectors seeking an authentic and distinctive vintage Rolex.
