-Description

The Datejust is Rolex's signature automatic watch, introduced in 1945. Its distinctive appearance has made it widely known as a watch that is instantly recognizable.

This model can be said to be the culmination of Rolex's three major inventions: the "Datejust mechanism", which instantly changes the date at midnight, the "Oyster case", and the automatic "Perpetual mechanism".

Reference 16233 is a vintage model that was introduced around 1988 and produced until 2005. It is a so-called 5-digit reference, and is gaining popularity as a neo-vintage watch that follows the basic design of the Datejust established in the 1960s while also being practical.

The 36mm case is neither too small nor too large, making it an ideal size for everyday wear. The combination design of the stainless steel and yellow gold bezel with the beautifully cut fluted bezel creates a luxurious feel.

The dial is a black tapestry dial. The vertical stripes create a shadow effect, and the way it looks changes depending on the angle is appealing. The biggest point is that it is an original design that is not found in vintage models from the 1960s, and does not exist in current models either.

The bracelet is the Jubilee bracelet 62523H. It has a dressy look and gives the impression that it is a bracelet for the Datejust. The small links give it a tight fit and one of its features is how comfortable it is to wear.

The movement is the automatic caliber 3135. Even today, about 30 years after its release, it is still considered one of the best movements in the watch industry.

This is a highly refined movement that, with regular maintenance, will retain its accuracy indefinitely and is also easy to service.
