Rolex Datejust 36mm Champagne Dial 16233 1991

Everyone knows the history…The Rolex Datejust was introduced in 1945 to celebrate Rolex's 40th anniversary. It was the world's first wristwatch with an automatically changing date function, a revolutionary feature at the time. This innovation was coupled with the introduction of the iconic Jubilee bracelet and a fluted bezel, creating a design that quickly became synonymous with elegance and precision. The Rolex Datejust 16233 is undeniably cool! Few watches can transition so seamlessly from a casual t-shirt to the refined elegance of a tuxedo sleeve.

We love two-tone and with a perfect blend of stainless steel and 18k yellow gold, the Datejust 16233 boasts a bi-metal aesthetic that exudes luxury. The 36mm case size is not too big and not too small, making it suitable for various wrist sizes and occasions. We’re so happy that the trend for oversized watches has abated because we think this watch is perfectly proportioned. The fluted bezel, not only adds to its visual appeal but also serves to enhance its recognisability as a Rolex Datejust from across the room. The Cyclops lens over the date window at 3 o'clock is a signature feature of Rolex, providing magnified visibility of the date and adding a distinctive touch to the overall design.

Powering the Rolex Datejust 16233 is the reliable Calibre 3135. This movement features a quickset date function, allowing the wearer to adjust the date independently of the hour and minute hands. The Caliber 3135 is also equipped with a Parachrom hairspring, enhancing the movement's resistance to shocks and magnetic fields, thus ensuring long-term accuracy.

The Jubilee bracelet, which is standard on the Datejust 16233, is another highlight of this model. Introduced in 1945, the Jubilee bracelet is known for its comfort and sophisticated design. The combination of stainless steel and gold links adds to the watch's luxurious feel.
