In Rolex's long and rich history, few models can claim to be as important as the Datejust. Born in 1945, the model has seen numerous variations and combinations of cases, bracelets and dials. The reference 16233 saw the introduction of sapphire crystal, improving robustness compared to older references. The watch also features a quickset date setting.

This example has been very well preserved over the years. The beautiful blue sunburst dial, which perfectly breaks into the continuity of the bracelet and case, is impeccable. It varies in colour tints, from deep ocean blue to a more royal or even purple blue depending on the light. The tritium of the hands and indexes has remained relatively clear, contrasting nicely with the dial.

Whether to start a collection or to add to one already well underway, the 16233 is the perfect reference for everyday wear. With two-tone watches coming back into fashion, the 16233 is certainly one of the pieces that will be more and more desired by watch enthusiasts.
