1988 Rolex Two-Tone Datejust (Ref. 16233) Champagne Dial W/ Box & Papers
The Rolex Datejust is one of the most iconic and beloved Rolex watches ever made. This classic dress watch has been produced by the Swiss luxury watchmaker since 1945 and has remained a timeless classic that is instantly recognizable as an item of refined quality and functional design. The Datejust was designed for everyday wear, and its sleek and elegant design makes it one of the most universally loved watches for both men and women.
From the rich champagne dial accompanied by its crisp yellow gold bezel, classic two-tone Jubilee bracelet, and sharp case, this 1988 Datejust ref. 16233 is the perfect example to be your next daily driver. The Rolex Datejust ref. 16233 is a transitional reference as it features a tritium lumed dial, but features numerous upgrades such as a sapphire crystal and the Rolex Cal. 3135 movement, which features a quick-set date function.

CASE & BRACELET
The exceptional case appears to have been gently polished once in its past, as the case retains crisp factory brushing and angles throughout, showing only light signs of use. The 18K yellow gold fluted bezel is also in crisp condition with almost no signs of use present. The original Rolex 62523 H18 two-tone Jubilee bracelet with 455B end pieces retains 22 links that show minimal stretch and will fit up to an 8-inch wrist.
DIAL & HANDS
The original sunburst champagne dial is flawless. The tritium lume plots show no patina and exhibit no degradation under UV light inspection. The yellow gold hands are later Rolex Service units with luminova lume and match the aesthetic of the watch perfectly. The metallic gold date wheel is original with open 6's and 9's.
ACCESSORIES
The watch comes complete with its original Rolex box, Rolex guarantee paper, Rolex Calendar, and translation booklet. The watch was recently serviced and is keeping time perfectly, backed by a 1-year warranty on accurate timekeeping.
