The Datejust Turn-o-graph reference 6602, also known as the "Thunderbird", was produced between 1956 and 1959. The Transcontinental remains a mystery to collectors today. Scholarship suggests only four examples are known to the market, all with similar attributes and serial numbers starting with 320'XXX. The unique bezel inserts are different from other Turnographs, which display a special type of font.
