The Rolex Datejust reference 16233 is the long-running two-tone Rolesor evolution
of Rolex’s signature dress watch, produced from 1988 through the mid-2000s. This
1992 example captures the reference at its most classic: a 36mm Oyster case in stainless
steel and 18k yellow gold, crowned by the fluted yellow gold bezel and presented
on the five-piece Jubilee bracelet created for the Datejust in 1945. Its gold-tone
dial echoes the warmth of the bezel and bracelet, with the date aperture magnified
by the cyclops at three o’clock, a combination that has defined the two-tone Datejust
as a benchmark of understated success for decades. The 16233 marked the maturation
of the modern Datejust as the first generation to carry the celebrated Rolex Caliber
3135, a 31-jewel self-winding movement beating at 28,800 vibrations per hour with
quick-set date and roughly 48 hours of power reserve, widely considered one of the
most reliable automatic calibers ever produced. Protected by a sapphire crystal 
and rated to 100m of water resistance, the reference wears elegantly across a wide
range of wrists and remains a contemporary classic and a cornerstone of any collection.
Pre-owned, dated 1992.
