Description

Reference 16233 is the Datejust that defined the two-tone era — produced through the late 1980s and 1990s, it is the watch most people picture when they picture a Rolex. The 36mm case is the original and, for many collectors, still the correct size: substantial enough to read at a glance, discreet enough to disappear under a cuff. Vintage in age but entirely contemporary on the wrist, the 16233 remains one of the most enduring entry points into Rolex collecting.
