Why We Love it
–The Rolex Datejust is a watch that needs no introduction...
The so-called “six-digit” Datejusts (reference variants with six digits) evolved from the original Oyster Perpetual Datejust line, and now exist as the contemporary standard for the line.
These models showed up in the early 2000s and offer updated cases and bracelets, while still retaining the classic 36mm case proportion of their predecessors and have seemingly innumerable variations for dial, bezel, and bracelet configurations.
This particular example, a Reference 116233, features a two-tone 18k yellow gold and stainless steel Oyster case with a magnified sapphire crystal, a stunning and flawless sunburst silver dial with applied luminous 'baton' indices, a matching yellow gold handset, an 18k fluted bezel, and a matching two-tone Oyster bracelet with a signed Oysterclasp with Rolex's fantastic Easylink system.
These timepieces are incredibly usable for everyday use, and can easily be dressed-up for formal occasions or dressed-down and worn as a sporty everyday companion.
Brand Story

Brand Story
+From the early waterproof Oyster case of the 1920s through to the ultra-complicated Sky Dweller of today, Rolex models and innovations have captivated a global audience and permeated the zeitgeist unlike those of any other brand. Whether it’s a simple, time-only Air King, a function-first Submariner or a complicated GMT Master II for the jet set, a Rolex commands a certain respect on the wrist and says something about the discerning eye of its owner.
From the swimming of the English channel in 1927 to the scaling of Mt. Everest in 1953, Rolex watches have been associated with adventure for the better part of a century. Despite its association since the 1970s more with luxury and status than with commando operations behind enemy lines or sporting achievements, Rolex still makes one of the most robust timepieces available on the contemporary market. And the company continues to support scientific endeavors around the world.
Interestingly, for most of the firm’s history, Rolex largely did not produce its components in-house, including its movements. (Indeed, hand-wound Daytonas sold today at auction for eye-watering prices feature run-of-the-mill Valjoux movements that feature in watches from hundreds of other brands). It wasn’t until the early 21st century that Rolex became the vertically integrated manufacturing behemoth that it is today, purchasing everything from movement manufacturers to bracelet companies. (Notably, the Crown even forges its own gold.)
Whether one is attracted to the rich history of the brand or simply finds its products notable from an investment perspective, Rolex is a company whose wares are guaranteed to remain a benchmark for horological quality forever.
