Rolex 16233 Perpetual Datejust - Factory Diamond Set Dial

For Sale – Rolex Oyster Perpetual Datejust Ref. 16233 Factory Diamond Dial (1993)

We are proud to offer this beautiful Rolex Oyster Perpetual Datejust reference 16233 from 1993, presented in one of the most striking configurations of the classic two-tone Datejust. Featuring a deep black factory set diamond dial, 18k yellow gold details and the iconic two-tone Jubilee bracelet, this example combines classic Rolex elegance with a distinctive and luxurious appearance.

The black tritium dial is undoubtedly the highlight of the watch. It features factory set diamond hour markers in yellow gold settings, beautifully contrasting against the deep black background. The dial is manufactured by Beyeler, one of the historic dial manufacturers used by Rolex, and features the characteristic “B” marking on the reverse of the dial. Together with the tritium configuration, this gives the watch the unmistakable appearance of an early 1990s Datejust.

The classic 36mm Oyster case is fitted with an 18k yellow gold fluted bezel and matching 18k yellow gold Rolex winding crown. The watch remains in nice overall condition for its age, showing normal signs of wear consistent with a watch from 1993.

Completing the watch is its two-tone Rolex Jubilee bracelet with solid 18k yellow gold centre links. The bracelet carries a period-correct S code matching the production period of the watch and remains in nice condition. It is also generously sized, making it suitable for larger wrist sizes.

Inside beats the renowned Rolex calibre 3135 automatic movement, the correct movement for reference 16233. The watch has been maintained and is running and functioning well. The calibre 3135 is widely regarded as one of Rolex’s most dependable automatic movements and features a quickset date function.
