Rolex Datejust 36mm (New old stock) - Ref. 16233

For sale is an exceptionally preserved new-old-stock Rolex Datejust Ref. 16233 in stainless steel and 18k yellow gold, featuring a factory champagne diamond dial.

This stunning collectors piece is in unworn condition, retaining its original protective stickers on the case and clasp, along with its original caseback sticker, and comes as a complete set with a comprehensive set of accessories including its original box, papers, manuals, both swing tags, bezel protector and leather wallet.

The Dial
The champagne sunburst dial catches the light beautifully, complementing the warm yellow gold details. Ten factory-set diamond hour markers sit within polished gold surrounds, paired with slim gold hands and an applied Rolex coronet at 12 o’clock. The date window at 3 o’clock is magnified by the Cyclops lens, completing the classic Datejust layout.

The Case and Bracelet
The 36mm stainless steel case is framed by an 18k yellow gold fluted bezel, with sharply defined lugs and crisp detailing throughout. The watch is fitted with a matching stainless steel and 18k yellow gold Jubilee bracelet.

The Movement
Powered by Rolex’s automatic Calibre 3135, featuring a quickset date and hacking seconds for precise time setting. The movement is performing well, with timegrapher readings of +3 seconds per day, an amplitude of 270° and a beat error of 0.4 ms.
