Datejust 16233 ‘Blue Vignette’

A two-tone Datejust is already the ideal ‘sun on the wrist’ watch, but add a gradient blue dial and some Rolex diamonds to the mix and you can get the party started! When you wrap this charmer around your wrist, the magic immediately starts. Indoors, the dial has more of a navy blue tone, but once outside, especially in the sunlight, the blue entirely lights up and continues to amaze you with its stunning aura. This, together with the shimmering and sparkling of the 10 diamond hour-markers, will provide you with an unforgettable two-tone Datejust experience.

This beautiful Datejust is fitted with a rare and desirable blue lacquer ‘dégradé’ dial, often also referred to as a vignette dial. These dials show a very attractive colour gradient which smoothly transitions from a very dark navy blue on the outside of the dial, to a vibrant laser blue in the center – This effect is striking to say the least, and the overall magnificent appearance of this dial is enhanced even more by the 10 vibrant, brilliant-cut Rolex factory diamonds, set in 18k yellow gold, square chaton’s. Each diamond is paired with perfectly aged, eggshell colored Tritium plots, which together with the blue colors and the golden details provide a warm and fresh looking, yet distinctive neo-vintage Rolex. The stainless steel case on this 16233 remains in a very good condition with thick, sharp and evenly shaped lugs – The sharp, 18k yellow gold fluted bezel remains unpolished and the stainless steel and 18k yellow gold Oyster(!) bracelet with Folding Oyster-clasp, are the original to the watch, show very little to no stretch, and wears extremely well and comfortable.

Just as you’re used to, this Datejust 16233 ‘Blue Vignette’ with gorgeous white Diamonds was fully serviced according the Rolex factory specs and will be delivered with our extensive 2 year warranty.
