3094 - ROLEX · OYSTERQUARTZ DATEJUST

ROLEX · OYSTERQUARTZ DATEJUST Ref. 17013 · ca. 1977–1978 · Stainless steel / 18K yellow gold · 36 mm In 1977, the future had sharp edges: With the Oysterquartz, Rolex gave this new technology a bold design featuring a sharply defined case and an integrated bracelet. Beneath the champagne-colored dial lies an elaborate temperature-compensated quartz movement. The absence of the “Chronometer” designation marks this early two-tone Datejust as a particularly appealing chapter in a distinct era of Rolex history.
