Rolex Datejust 16233

Rolex Datejust 36, reference 16233, circa 1996. Oystersteel and yellow gold, 36mm, automatic, on Jubilee bracelet. Selected because this T serial example combines an unpolished case and bracelet with minimal wear, a stretch-free Jubilee bracelet showing deep purple oxidation on the gold centre links, an intact green caseback sticker, and original papers with hang tag — a combination that is genuinely exceptional for a watch of this age.
