2019 macbook pro to late 2012 imac display

I would like to hook up my 2019 macbook pro 16 inch to the monitor of a late 2012 imac. It looks like I would need a thunderbolt 3 to thunderbolt 1 adaptor. Is this correct? If so, does this exist because I cannot find one.

Use your iMac as a display with target display mode - Apple Support

All iMac models introduced in 2011, 2012, 2013, and mid 2014: Use a Thunderbolt cable to connect your iMac to a Thunderbolt or Thunderbolt 2 port on the other Mac. If the other Mac uses Thunderbolt 3, you can use the Apple Thunderbolt 3 (USB-C) to Thunderbolt 2 Adapter with your cable.
