Rolex Oysterquartz Datejust Two Tone Buckley Dial 17013
Rolex Oysterquartz Datejust Two Tone Buckley Dial 17013
Shock, horror...Rolex produced a Quartz watch! They sure did, and what a Quartz watch it is. Released in 1977, the Oysterquartz was the successor to the limited run 5100 Date which housed a Beta-21 movement. Many other brands also utilised this movement, so Rolex went in-house and developed their own and the Oysterquartz was born. The movement they came up with was pretty special at the time. Featuring 11 jewels and 32khz oscillators, the 5035 movement was decorated with Geneva stripes (much like a mechanical Rolex) and certified by the COSC as electronic chronometers in the later series. It was all housed in a then-new 36mm case which features an integrated two tone bracelet, though it wears larger than the numbers would suggest on paper due to the bracelet design.
This particular example is in very good vintage condition, and features the highly desirable Buckley dial. Case is very sharp, with strong bevel lines. Shows some scratches and scuffs present commensurate with its age, and a few small pin dents. Rear of case shows some corrosion beneath the case back. Please inspect the images for full condition details.
Dial is in excellent condition, with all tritium plots in place.
17013 bracelet will fit a 7.5 inch wrist, and only very minor stretch. Coronet on clasp shows signs of polishing. G serial clasp.
Service history is unknown. All functions operating as they should.
