Rolex Datejust 16258

Reference 16258 is the solid gold version of the Datejust ‘Turn-O-Graph’, produced from approximately 1988 to the early 2000s. Its primary technical feature, specified by the 5 in the reference number, is a bi-directional rotating ‘Turn-O-Graph’ bezel. This bezel, crafted from solid 18k yellow gold (8), features a 60-minute scale with raised, polished numerals against a finely textured, matte background. The watch is powered by the Rolex Caliber 3135. The significance of the Ref. 16258 lies in its status as a luxurious reinterpretation of Rolex’s first rotating-bezel tool watch, creating a sophisticated sports watch that is considerably rarer than its standard Datejust siblings.
