Rolex Datejust 16233 ''Champagne Tapestry''

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. I think you will notice that this vintage two-tone Rolex Datejust 16233 with beautiful champagne Tapestry dial is not the average Datejust.

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/gold tapestry dial and the gold steel Jubilee bracelet together create the iconic and funky Datejust look.

This vintage Rolex Datejust with 'champagne tapestry dial'  from the year 1995 is in beautiful condition. The jubilee bracelet show minimal stretch for its age. The thick 36mm unpolished case, with some slight signs of use, and the crisp 18K yellow gold bezel are pretty sharp. The watch comes with a 1-year warranty from 10 over 10.

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.
