I wish to drill a 16mm hole in a ceramic tile to pass a water pipe through,
how's this best achieved?

I did it in the kitchen recently for the pressure release pipe from the
boiler. Used a 400mm long 16mm diameter SDS bit. Drilled through the
tile with hammer action off, then engaged hammer for most of the
remainder of the wall. The last half inch or so it is worth going back
to rotary only to save taking a large "exit wound" lump out the outer
face of the wall.
