A true icon of Rolex design, the Datejust 16233 combines timeless elegance with everyday wearability. This 1993 example features the classic 36mm Oyster case in stainless steel, paired with an 18k yellow gold fluted bezel and a warm champagne dial. The watch is powered by Rolex’s reliable calibre 3135 automatic movement with quickset date functionality.
Fitted with its original two-tone Jubilee bracelet, this piece offers the perfect balance of sportiness and refinement. The crisp dial layout, cyclops date magnifier, and gold baton hour markers make this one of the most versatile and enduring references in Rolex history. The watch is in excellent condition for its age.
