Rolex Datejust 36 Ref. 16233G - Two-Tone Jubilee, Blue Vignette Diamond Dial, 36mm, Circa 1998, RSC Serviced 2020



Overview

Reference 16233G represents the premium configuration of the steel-and-gold Datejust 36, combining the Rolesor two-tone case and bracelet with the factory diamond-index "G" designation and the celebrated blue vignette dial. The vignette dial on this reference transitions from a deep navy at the periphery to a medium blue at the centre, creating a gradient effect that shifts beautifully with changing light. This U-serial example from circa 1998 carries the significant benefit of documented Rolex Service Centre (RSC) service performed in January 2020, providing strong assurance of movement condition. The two-tone Jubilee bracelet presents in excellent order for its age, with minimal stretch visible.
