Rolex Datejust 16233 Pyramid DIal 1997

You can say that over the years a lot of different dial variants have appeared for the Datejust. Still, the Datejust models were given a relatively conventional selection of dial colors to choose from, such as the traditional white, silver, rich blue, black and the classix champagne dial. But it is often said: less is more! If you look at this Datejust from different angles, you will notice that it does not feature a standard dial. The elegant and playful ivory-white dial with its small pyramid patterns is a real treat for the eyes.

This vintage Datejust dates back to 1997 and is in excellent condition with its sharp case, sharp bezel and jubilee strap that shows a slight and acceptable stretch for its age. It also retains the original green factory sticker on the back case. The ivory-white pyramid dial is not only a true experience, but also makes this elegant watch suitable for every occasion. The 3135 calibre with quick-set function also makes this Rolex user-friendly and a perfect mix between vintage and modern. The watch has been fully checked by our watchmaker and comes with a 12 month guarantee by 10 over 10.

Rolex Datejust

In the year 1945 the first Datejust was introduced in honour of the 40-year existence of Rolex, under the reference 4467. This was the first self-winding watch with a watertight case that also indicated the date. It even automatically transitioned the date after midnight. The Datejust was equipped with a serrated bezel and the famous Jubilee bracelet, especially designed for the Datejust. The date was placed on the 3-hour mark. Ten years later, in 1955, the date-window was given a "cyclops lens", which magnifies the date up to two and a half times.

Rolex's most iconic models were produced to function as "tool watches". The Datejust, however, did not have a specific purpose. This model was supposed to be a classic, reliable, everyday watch, suitable for any occasion in day-to-day life.
