Rolex Datejust 36

The Rolex Datejust 36 reference 16233 is a classic two-tone icon. This 2000 model features a striking black dial, yellow gold fluted bezel, and Jubilee bracelet. The black and gold contrast gives this Datejust a bold, timeless presence. It’s a versatile piece built to last.

The case measures 36mm and is made from brushed stainless steel. The sides are polished for contrast. The screw-down crown and Oyster case construction offer water resistance up to 100 metres. The size wears slim, balanced, and fits most wrists comfortably.

The bezel is crafted from solid 18ct yellow gold. It’s fluted with sharp ridges that reflect light and frame the dial perfectly. The bezel adds a signature Rolex touch that sets this model apart.

The dial is gloss black with applied gold hour markers. The stick markers and hands are filled with lume for low-light visibility. The date sits at 3 o’clock, magnified by the Cyclops lens. The look is simple, legible, and formal without being flashy.

Inside is the Rolex Calibre 3135. This automatic movement is known for reliability and durability. It’s COSC-certified and runs with strong accuracy. The power reserve is 48 hours, and the movement can be hand-wound or self-winding.

The bracelet is the five-link Jubilee in steel and gold. The centre links are 18ct yellow gold, polished to a shine. The outer links are brushed steel. It closes with a concealed clasp, keeping the profile clean. It wears smooth, solid, and stays secure.

This watch presents in very good condition for its age. The case and bracelet show light signs of wear. The bezel is sharp, and the dial remains clean and legible. The movement runs well and passes function checks.

The Rolex Datejust 16233 in two-tone with a black dial is a true classic. It’s dressy, durable, and instantly recognisable. A piece like this holds presence without needing size or flash. Ideal for collectors or daily wearers who want real pedigree.
