The Definitive Two-Tone Classic
Since its debut in 1945, the Rolex Datejust has defined timeless elegance and reliability. The reference 16233, introduced in the late 1980s, marked an evolution in the model’s long history—bringing with it the upgraded calibre 3135 movement, sapphire crystal, and refined case proportions that would become the benchmark for modern Datejusts.
