About this watch

Band: Steel & Gold (Jubilee) Clasp: Folded Steel Deployant Glass: Sapphire crystal Water Resistant: 10 Bar/100m (Surface Swimming) This Rolex Datejust Ref. 16233 from 1991 is a robust yet luxurious watch with a rare dial. Measuring 36 mm, with a lug-to-lug of 44 mm and a depth of just 12 mm, it remains slim despite housing 200 parts in the caliber alone. With proper care and maintenance, the watch is pressure-resistant to 10 bar, making it suitable for daily wear surface swimming. The champagne (gold) dial has a texture similar to that of linen, and it features 18-karat hour markers and a colour-matched, magnified date aperture at 3 o'clock. Protecting the dial is a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal that offers durability and clarity. Surrounding the sapphire is an 18-karat yellow gold fluted bezel that matches the gold of the crown and the central links of the Jubilee bracelet. Behind the closed steel caseback beats the in-house, automatic 3135 caliber. It operates at 4 Hz for around 48 hours while offering good resistance to magnetism and shocks. The 3135 was in production for 32 years ensuring easy access to parts and serviceability. This Rolex Datejust has just been through our service centre, Watch Tech, and is covered by our two-year VWC warranty. Watch only. Circa 1991.
