One of Rolex's most successful watch models, the Datejust 16233 epitomises the class in design and craftmanship that Rolex is famous for. First launched in 1945 the Rolex Datejust was the first wristwatch with a self-changing date feature on the dial. The Datejust was a ground breaking launch by Rolex and revolutionised the watch industry. It was introduced during Rolex’s 40th Anniversary, famously nicknamed the "Jubilee," and the Datejust has been a symbol of style and precision ever since.

The Datejust 16233 model features a 36mm case that combines steel and 18ct yellow gold so beautifully. The 16233 is widely recognised by its fluted bezel and jubilee bracelet, represents a perfect blend of functionality and elegance.

The dial of the Datejust 16233 is typically adorned with hour markers that are either simple batons or Roman numerals, contributing to its sophisticated aesthetic. Protected by scratch-resistant sapphire crystal, the dial houses the distinctive date window at the 3 o'clock position, magnified by Rolex's Cyclops lens for easy reading at a glance.

Powering the Rolex Datejust 16233 is the automatic Rolex Calibre 3135 self-winding movement, that is a testament to the Swiss brand's pioneering spirit in watchmaking technology. This movement remained in production for decades with Rolex and is an extremely reliable and robust piece of horological engineering. The 3135 movement is certified as a Swiss chronometer by COSC (Contrôle Officiel Suisse des Chronomètres).

The Rolex Datejust 16233 is also equipped with a Twinlock double waterproofness system at the crown, which involves two sealed zones - one within the crown and another within the tube of the crown which ensures water resistance down to 100 meters or 330 feet from the factory.
