The Rolex Datejust 36 reference 16233 is a classic and enduring model that exemplifies Rolex’s commitment to timeless design and precision. Introduced in the early 2000s, this watch features a 36mm Oystersteel case with a luxurious 18ct yellow gold bezel, creating a striking contrast that enhances its elegant appearance. The combination of steel and gold, known as Rolesor, offers both durability and sophistication, making it suitable for a wide range of occasions, from formal events to everyday wear.
The dial of the Datejust 36 16233 is typically presented in a variety of finishes, with options such as a sunburst silver or champagne color. The dial features the classic date display at 3 o’clock, magnified by Rolex’s signature Cyclops lens, which enhances readability. Large, luminescent hour markers and hands ensure excellent legibility in different lighting conditions. The watch is powered by the Rolex Caliber 3135, a self-winding mechanical movement renowned for its precision and reliability, with a power reserve of approximately 48 hours. This movement incorporates Rolex’s Parachrom hairspring, offering improved resistance to shocks and temperature variations.
