About the Watch:
This circa 1990 Rolex Oyster Perpetual Datejust ref. 16233 combines the classic two-tone steel and yellow gold Datejust profile with a more decorative aftermarket gem-set bezel. The white dial features black Roman numerals and diamond hour markers, creating strong contrast against the yellow gold accents of the case, crown, hands, and Jubilee bracelet center links.
The aftermarket bezel is set with round brilliant diamonds and accented by baguette rubies at the 12, 3, 6, and 9 o’clock positions. The result is a more personalized and jewelry-forward interpretation of the classic Datejust, adding red and white gemstone detail around the traditional white Roman numeral dial.
The two-tone Jubilee bracelet gives the watch the classic Datejust look, with five-link construction and alternating stainless steel and 18K yellow gold center links. This example is offered in 9/10 excellent condition with original box, one extra bracelet link, and a bracelet fit of approximately 6.5 inches.
About the Rolex Datejust 16233:
The Rolex Datejust ref. 16233 is one of the best-known five-digit Datejust references, produced during the late 1980s through early 2000s. It retained the classic 36mm Datejust proportions while adding modern upgrades such as sapphire crystal, quickset date functionality, and the Rolex caliber 3135 automatic movement.
The two-tone steel and yellow gold configuration remains one of the most recognizable Datejust looks, balancing everyday wearability with a dressier precious-metal presentation. This example adds an aftermarket diamond and ruby bezel to the classic formula, creating a more distinctive, gem-set presentation while retaining the familiar Datejust case, bracelet, dial layout, and automatic Rolex movement.
