Since its debut in 1945, the Rolex Datejust has become the quintessential dress watch that many aspire to own. The reference 16233, with its iconic gold fluted bezel, two-tone steel and gold Oyster case and bracelet, represents a sought-after neo-vintage model beloved worldwide for its timeless, elegant design and versatility. When paired with a clean champagne dial, like in this example, it creates a classic Rolex look suitable for any occasion that will never fall out of fashion.

This particular 16233 Datejust is in excellent overall condition. The case remains sharp with only light surface scratches. The champagne dial is flawless, providing a beautiful contrast against the steel case and gold fluted bezel. The folded Jubilee bracelet continues to uphold its reputation as one of the most comfortable designs ever created. Fitted with solid links, the bracelet shows minimal stretch and is the correct 62523H18 ref with 455B end links. The serial numbers between the lugs are clearly legible, and the case, dial, movement, crown, and bracelet are all Rolex signed.

The movement was serviced in 2020 and is currently running at +11.2 seconds per day.
