Rolex - Rolex Datejust Oysterquartz Silver Dial Ref. 17000, 1978
Produced from 1977 to 2002, the Rolex Oysterquartz holds significant historical importance as Rolex's answer to the Quartz Crisis of the 1970s.
Its movement finishing was rumored to be superior to even their automatic models. With fewer than 25,000 produced, this makes it a rare and collectible timepiece. This example in stainless steel, shows its vintage charm, with an aged egg-shell dial, a strong case, and minimal bracelet stretch.
