Rolex Datejust Oysterquartz 17013 PRICE: USD$4500 Watch Dimensions 36mm case, 12mm thick, 42.5mm lug to lug Movement: Rolex 5035 Quartz Movement Timestamp: [https://imgur.com/a/tw7bxZp](https://imgur.com/a/tw7bxZp) This Rolex Datejust Oysterquartz 17013 from 1978 stands out as one of Rolex's rare quartz models amidst the quartz crisis. Alongside the upper echelon of Swiss watchmakers, Rolex had a quartz frenzy and decided to launch the Oysterquartz Datejust and DayDate in 1977. Understanding Rolex's vision today, these may be the only two quartz models to ever hit Rolex's catalogue. Featuring signature Datejust design with an 18ct gold fluted bezel, the 17013 remixes it with an angular case and integrated bracelet. ‘Oysterquartz’ underlines the dial, highlighting the 5035 movement preceding the COSC certification in 1979, and adding further rareness. With fewer than 25,000 produced, its distinctive 'oysterquartz' label and unique ticking second hand underscore its rarity and historical significance in Swiss watchmaking. The original warranty paper is attached, dating the watch to 9th December 1978 (Note. As this watch was purchased in Taiwan, the year printed on the warranty paper is 67 years in Republic of China calendar). The sticker on the warranty paper was the Taiwanese import tax label, providing an extra source of authentication as the label ensures the watch was not parallel imported.
