How it works.
Please Note: This is a USED item and there may be scratches on the clasp, bracelet and case. This watch is supplied without box or paperwork, and includes 2x spare links.
Rolex has defined the luxury wristwatch for generations, and the Oyster Perpetual Datejust remains one of its most recognised designs. This 1988 reference 16233 pairs a stainless steel case with a two-tone Jubilee bracelet and gold dial. Supplied as a Certified Pre-Owned piece by First Class Watches, it has been inspected and verified by in-house technicians for authenticity and quality.
The Rolex Oyster Perpetual Datejust 16233 from 1988 is a celebrated expression of classic Swiss watchmaking. Its 36mm circular stainless steel case frames a warm gold dial with refined baton hour markers, giving a balanced and timeless look that suits both men's and women's wrists. The signature date display adds practical everyday function, while the screw-down crown reflects the Oyster design that has long been central to the Datejust's identity.
Powered by a Swiss automatic mechanical movement, this timepiece winds through the natural motion of the wrist, removing any need for a battery. The two-tone gold and silver Jubilee bracelet is secured by a folding clasp, offering a comfortable fit and an elegant finish. This example is offered without box or paperwork, and comes with 2x spare links for added sizing flexibility. A distinguished vintage Rolex, it presents a fine opportunity to own an enduring luxury icon that carries real character from its era.
