The Rolex Datejust reference 16233 is a 36mm timepiece in Steel and Yellow Gold presented in used condition, with a Blue Vignette Diamond dial, Fluted YG bezel, Head only bracelet, dated circa 1997. This piece is customized — aftermarket-modified (setting or dial added outside the manufacturer); not original factory condition. Supplied with its original papers. Every watch is inspected and authenticated by our specialists before it is offered, so you can buy with confidence.
Consider the Datejust a study in versatility. One reference number can shift dramatically in value based on fluted versus smooth versus gem-set bezels, and on sunburst, motif, or diamond-hour-marker dials. Add four case sizes from 26mm to 41mm and the choices multiply. Such breadth rewards careful guidance. We walk through the details, authenticate in-house, and help you settle on the right configuration with confidence. Read the full Datejust buying guide ›
Recognition is near universal for Rolex, and that reputation rests on real engineering: waterproofing, self-winding movements, and date displays developed at the Geneva manufacture Hans Wilsdorf founded in 1905. The brand sets the benchmark for mechanical watches and now reads as a financial asset class too. We check the Oyster case and Perpetual movement closely, because steel sports references like the Daytona regularly clear retail prices. Browse all Rolex ›
