Q: What defines this specific Rolex Datejust Ref. 16233? A: Produced in 1995, this Reference 16233 is a classic example of the two-tone Datejust. It features a 36mm Oyster case in stainless steel and 18k yellow gold, a fluted gold bezel, and a rare champagne 'Pyramid' dial with Roman numerals, set on a Jubilee bracelet.
Q: What is a Pyramid dial? A: The Pyramid dial features a distinct, textured geometric pattern that adds depth and character to the face of the watch. It is less common than standard sunburst dials, making this timepiece a unique find for collectors.
Q: Does this model have a sapphire crystal? A: Yes. The Reference 16233 is fitted with a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal with a Cyclops lens for date magnification. This offers superior durability compared to the acrylic crystals found on older vintage models.
Q: What movement does it use? A: This watch is powered by the legendary Rolex Calibre 3135 automatic movement. It is a self-winding mechanical movement known for its reliability and features a Quickset date function for easy adjustment.
Q: Is the watch water-resistant? A: The Oyster case was originally rated for 100 metres of water resistance. However, as this is a vintage piece from 1995, we cannot guarantee its current water resistance without a pressure test. We recommend treating it as splash-resistant only and avoiding swimming or showering with it.
Q: Will the watch fit my wrist? A: This specific timepiece fits a wrist circumference of up to 17.5cm. The Jubilee bracelet offers a comfortable fit, and links can be removed for a smaller size. Please note that no extra links are included with this purchase.
Q: What is the condition of the watch? A: This piece is listed in Very Good condition. It shows light traces of use consistent with its age, with some scratches visible on the shiny hardware. The movement has been inspected to ensure proper function.
Q: What is included with the purchase? A: This watch is listed as having no accessories, meaning it does not come with the original box or papers. It is sold with A Retro Tale's full authentication guarantee and secure packaging.
Q: Is there a warranty? A: Yes. A Retro Tale guarantees 100% authenticity on every item. This watch also comes with a 12-month movement warranty covering mechanical function.
