Offered to the International Olympic Committee in 1996, this Rolex Datejust (ref. 16233) is an extremely rare and fascinating example of the exceptional watches created for the Olympic Games, which were never available to the public. It is preserved in outstanding condition and complete with the original punched guarantee confirming the IOC as the purchaser. The last time a similar piece was on the auction market was eight years ago. A highlight of the ‘Fine Watches’ sale at Sotheby’s Paris, view the full catalogue and bid online at the link in bio.
