1995 Rolex Two-Tone Datejust (Ref. 16233) Black Tapestry Dial W/ Box & Booklets
The Rolex Datejust is one of the most iconic and enduring watches ever produced by Rolex. Introduced in 1945, it has remained a timeless classic, instantly recognizable for its refined quality and functional, balanced design. Conceived as a watch for everyday wear, the Datejust’s understated elegance has made it universally admired by both men and women for generations.
The Rolex Datejust reference 16233 is considered a transitional model, pairing a tritium dial with notable technical upgrades. These include a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal and the Rolex Caliber 3135 automatic movement, featuring a quick-set date function for enhanced daily usability.
Fitted with the highly uncommon black tapestry dial, this 1995 Rolex Datejust offers an elegant and far less frequently encountered alternative to the traditional champagne configuration. The distinctive tapestry texture adds depth and refinement, while the black dial lends the watch a more understated, contemporary presence. Exceptionally versatile, it transitions effortlessly from casual to formal wear, and is particularly prized among collectors for its rarity and restrained aesthetic.

CASE & BRACELET
The “no-holes” case shows normal wear and has been lightly polished in the past, yet remains well-proportioned and symmetrical. The 18k yellow gold fluted bezel exhibits light wear consistent with use and, like the case, was lightly polished previously; overall, it remains in excellent condition. The Rolex two-tone 62523 H18 Jubilee bracelet with 455B end pieces is stamped with a Z5 date code, and retains 19 links that show normal stretch, and will fit up to a 7-inch wrist.
DIAL & HANDS
The original and uncommon black tapestry dial is flawless, showing no damage or age. The tritium lume plots display a subtle eggshell patina and exhibit no degradation when inspected under UV light. The hands are OEM luminova service units.
ACCESSORIES
The watch comes with its original inner and outer Rolex boxes, Rolex chronometer seal hangtag, and Rolex booklets. The watch was recently serviced and is keeping time perfectly, backed by a 1-year warranty on accurate timekeeping.
