Rolex Datejust 16233 Champagne Fial 1990
There is something that makes collecting Rolex watches special. There are a lot of different details that distinguish one piece from another. Special case materials, case shapes and dials. These are the most prominent and noticeable features.
The iconic 5-piece Jubilee bracelet was introduced together with the Datejust, which first came on the market in solid gold and then in a bicolor like on this 16233. This vintage Datejust has a typical look that shows how a vintage Datejust should be. The combination of the steel case, the champagne dial and the gold steel Jubilee bracelet together create the iconic and funky Datejust look. The upgraded 3135 movement with the quick-set date function, which has been fully serviced by our watchmaker, also makes this watch easy to use. This beautiful and elegant Datejust is the perfect vintage watch for daily use.

Datejust
In the year 1945 the first Datejust was introduced in honour of the 40-year existence of Rolex, under the reference 4467. This was the first self-winding watch with a watertight case that also indicated the date. It even automatically transitioned the date after midnight. The Datejust was equipped with a serrated bezel and the famous Jubilee bracelet, especially designed for the Datejust. The date was placed on the 3-hour mark. Ten years later, in 1955, the date-window was given a "cyclops lens", which magnifies the date up to two and a half times.
Rolex's most iconic models were produced to function as "tool watches". The Datejust, however, did not have a specific purpose. This model was supposed to be a classic, reliable, everyday watch, suitable for any occasion in day-to-day life.
