    Model
    : Rolex Datejust

    Reference # 16233

    Movement: Cal. 3135

    Serial: T597XXX circa 1996

    Dial & Hands: Sunburst blue in excellent condition. The Tritium lume plots have developed a very pleasing caramel hue and the tritium in the hands matches perfectly.

    Overall Cosmetic Condition
    : Unpolished. No chips or scratches on the crystal. There are a few light hairline scratches on the case sides and consistent with very limited use. The fluted bezel is in excellent condition. This watch came from the original owner who bought it for himself to celebrate his retirement. Only worn on special occasions. It has spent a great deal of time in the safe. The Oyster Bracelet is less common than the Jubilee on 16233. The bracelet is original to the watch and in excellent condition.


    Mechanical Condition
    : I did take the watch to my watchmaker in early April to determine if the watch was in need of a service. His opinion was that, despite the fact that the watch appears never to have been serviced, it still did not require one. He made a very small timing adjustment. These picture were taken 04/04/2024.

    Bracelet:
    Other than a few light swirls, the Oyster bracelet is full linked and in excellent lightly worn condition. Evidence of this can been seen in the condition of the clasp. The watch has spent most of its life a safe and the bracelet is in excellent condition. I will have it ultrasonically cleaned, before shipping the watch.

    Please note the scuff marks on the RHS of the case-back, between the crown and the case-back sticker.

    Watch, Booklets and Box only NO papers

    (The watch will be shipped with its original box, in a Rolex plastic travel case plus a brand new green Rolex Service pouch)

    Price: $6,450

    Shipping:
    FedEx 2-day (fully insured) to your nearest FedEx location in the USA is included. Overseas shipping to be agreed upon, with cost of shipping to the buyer.

    Why I am listing the watch? I acquired a TT 16613 Sub last year and I simply no longer need to have two mixed metal watches in my collection.

    No TRADE offers please, unless you have an Omega Speedmaster Tokyo 2020 blue dial in equivalent condition.
