The Ivory Pyramid Dial Masterpiece
Few watches embody Rolex’s blend of timeless elegance and mechanical precision like the Datejust. Introduced in 1945, it became the first self-winding chronometer wristwatch to feature a date window on the dial—an innovation that would go on to define the modern wristwatch.
This reference 16233, from 2001, perfectly represents the golden age of the neo-vintage Datejust. Crafted from stainless steel and 18-carat yellow gold, it exudes sophistication and understated confidence. What truly sets this example apart, however, is its rare and beautiful Ivory Pyramid Dial, a texture that captures the light in a way few other Rolex dials can.
This example is a complete set, in like-new condition, and remarkably still retains its original case-back sticker, a clear sign of minimal wear and exceptional care.
Why You’ll Love It
• Rare and sought-after Ivory Pyramid Dial, offering depth, warmth, and subtle texture that elevates it above standard champagne or silver finishes.
• Stainless steel and 18ct yellow gold construction—an unmistakable two-tone combination synonymous with Rolex elegance.
• The Jubilee bracelet remains tight and crisp, showing virtually no signs of wear.
• Original case-back sticker intact, a collector’s detail that underscores the originality and preservation of this example.
• Complete with box and papers, making it a true collector’s piece.
• At £6,500, it represents superb value—around half the cost of the current retail equivalent, and in better condition than most examples available today.
Iconic Status
The Rolex Datejust has long been a symbol of success and refinement. It has graced the wrists of icons such as Warren Buffett, Roger Federer, and Jennifer Aniston, proving its universal appeal across generations. The Ivory Pyramid Dial, produced in limited numbers, adds a layer of exclusivity and collectability—making this model stand out even among other Datejusts.
For collectors and enthusiasts alike, this is a piece that bridges eras: vintage charm, modern reliability, and aesthetic perfection in one timeless package.
