Pre-Owned Rolex Datejust 36 ref 116233 (2001 – 2002) is the modern evolution of one of the most recognizable two-tone Rolexes ever made. It followed the long-running ref. 16233 and, at first glance, looks almost identical. The same 36mm Oyster case, same classic Datejust proportions, same dependable automatic movement. But the changes are in the refinement. When Rolex introduced the 116233, it brought polished lugs and solid end links to the lineup. That might sound minor, but on the wrist, it feels noticeably more substantial and a touch more contemporary. The watch has a little more presence, a bit more weight, and a cleaner overall aesthetic compared to the earlier five-digit generation. This example pairs yellow gold and stainless steel in classic Rolesor, fitted with the Jubilee bracelet. Shop Rolex Datejust 36 Collection
