Rolex Datejust Ref. 16233 'Champagne' Dial 1990

The Rolex Datejust Ref. 16233 is one of the most recognisable references in the Datejust's lineage. Produced throughout the late 1980s and 1990s, it represents the transition into a more modern era of Rolex — introducing the sapphire crystal and the robust Caliber. 3135 while retaining the classic 36mm proportions.

This 1990 example captures the essence of the traditional two-tone Datejust, pairing stainless steel with 18k yellow gold. The fluted bezel and Jubilee bracelet remain hallmarks of the reference, offering a balance of refinement and everyday practicality. A true staple in the Rolex catalogue, the 16233 continues to be one of the most versatile and timeless watches available.
