Rolex Oyster Perpetual 34mm - Ref. 14233

For sale is a Rolex Oyster Perpetual Ref. 14233, presented in stainless steel and 18k yellow gold and accompanied by its original Rolex box, punched papers and manuals.

The Oyster Perpetual
The Rolex Oyster Perpetual Ref. 14233 combines the simplicity and versatility of the classic Oyster Perpetual with an elegant two-tone configuration. Its 34mm Oyster case offers timeless proportions, while the combination of stainless steel and yellow gold gives the watch a distinctive yet understated presence on the wrist.

The Dial
This example features a beautiful champagne sunburst dial with applied yellow gold baton hour markers, matching hands and the Rolex coronet at 12 o’clock. Most distinctive is its natural patina, which radiates outwards from the centre in a fine speckled pattern, gradually fading towards the outer edges of the dial, giving it a unique and characterful appearance.

Importantly, the original punched papers specify the dial as champagne, providing valuable supporting provenance for the originality of the dial fitted to the watch.

The Case
The stainless steel Oyster case is complemented by a traditional 18k yellow gold fluted bezel, adding texture and warmth while retaining the unmistakable Rolex aesthetic. The combination of brushed steel surfaces and polished yellow gold creates the classic two-tone appearance associated with Rolex watches of this period.

The Bracelet
Completing the watch is its original two-tone Oyster bracelet, featuring brushed stainless steel outer links contrasted by polished 18k yellow gold centre links. It is secured by a Rolex-signed folding Oysterclasp, maintaining the robust and understated character of the model.

Dating to 1999 and accompanied by its original Rolex presentation box, punched guarantee papers and manuals, this is an attractive example of the five-digit Oyster Perpetual, distinguished by its classic two-tone configuration and particularly characterful naturally aged champagne dial.
