The Rolex Datejust Ref. 16233 is a cornerstone of the brand’s catalog, embodying the perfect balance between everyday functionality and timeless elegance. Introduced in the late 1980s, this two-tone reference pairs stainless steel with 18k yellow gold in the classic 36mm Oyster case. What sets this example apart is its rare black pyramid dial, an uncommon and highly distinctive variant. The dial features a geometric textured surface, adding depth and character to the otherwise minimalist layout. Gold roman hour markers and hands stand in sharp contrast to the black dial, creating a bold yet refined presence. Powered by the reliable automatic Caliber 3135, the 16233 combines technical performance with visual sophistication. This very version is in true „new old stock“ condition, coming directly from the original German owner who bought it in 1994 and never wore it over the course of three decades.
