Rolex Datejust 36, silver dial, reference 16233
MOLIMO VINTAGE
1988 Rolex Datejust 36, reference 16233, two-tone with silver dial, jubilee bracelet. Accompanied by purchase paperwork.
A quintessential expression of the brand’s timeless design, the Datejust remains one of Rolex's most iconic models.
Defined by its signature 18k yellow gold fluted bezel and a lustrous silver dial, this 1988 reference represents a pivotal moment in the Datejust’s evolution. As the inaugural year for the 16233 reference, this model introduced scratch-resistant sapphire crystals for Datejusts, providing a sleeker profile and robustness that was missing from the acrylic-glass predecessors of the early 80s. At the versatile 36mm case size, this watch is ideal both for larger wrists seeking a classic proportion or smaller ones inclined to a more substantial look.
The warm, yellow tones of the watch's 18k gold, contrasted by the black dial and stainless steel make for a balanced, unisex silhouette fitting of any setting or occasion.
Movement: Automatic
Case width: 36 mm
Bracelet length: 7", adjustable by removing links or sourcing more links
Materials: 18k gold, stainless steel

Let customers speak for us
from 106 reviewsFirst of all, I was worried this would arrive during my holiday travel and customer service helped ensure my ring was made and delivered ahead of the estimated time. The ring itself is perfectly crafted, a good weight, and I especially love the knife edge detail. Every step of the process was above and beyond. Thank you so much, Molimo!!
Absolutely as gorgeous as the pictures. My questions were quickly answered and the rings were able to be resized with no issue! Beautiful packaging too.
Just as decribed and even better in person, thank you!
The ring 💍 is light weighted, but it is incredibly beautiful. It’s so sparkling ✨ and so shiny under the light, looking better than in the picture. This is the perfect gift for my wife. Many of her friends and collogues have given compliments when they see her ring. She highly recommend it to them. Thank you for your amazing design.

This is a beautiful piece- unique stone combination. I love it.
This is the perfect little stack ring, looks great by itself, and very nice that it’s reclaimed and recycled metals and stones. I got the sterling silver version and wear it every day. Love!
