The Rolex Datejust 36 (Reference 16233) configured with a black dial and a "no holes" case represents one of the final, most refined iterations of this iconic neo-vintage generation. Produced from 1988 until roughly 2004, the 16233 bridges the gap between classic vintage aesthetics and modern durability, making it highly coveted by collectors who prefer a clean look without visible lug holes.

  Because the "no holes" variation was only produced for the final year or two of the reference 16233's lifecycle before being replaced by the six-digit reference 116233, it is significantly rarer than standard drilled-lug cases.

• Case Diameter: 36mm. 

• Materials: Two-tone Rolesor combining a 904L stainless steel case with an 18k yellow gold fluted bezel and crown. 

• Crystal: Scratch-resistant sapphire crystal featuring a Cyclops magnifying lens over the date window.

• Case Style: "No Holes" (Holes-less case). Rolex phased out visible lug holes on the side of the case around 2003 (starting with late 'Y' and 'F' serial numbers), giving the watch a smoother profile.

• Movement: Automatic Rolex Caliber 3135. A legendary, high-accuracy chronometer movement featuring a 48-hour power reserve and a quickset date mechanism.

• Dial: Sleek black dial featuring contrast gold indices (sticks, Roman numerals, or diamonds) and gold hands.
