DESCRIPTION
A Very Rare Vintage Rolex Oysterquarts, Full Yellow Gold, Day-Date Original Pave Diamond and Sapphire Dial. The Origins of the Gold Oysterquartz Day Date The Rolex Oysterquartz made its debut in 1977. While these were not the first Rolex quartz watches, they were the first to run on in-house quartz movements. There were two main models that bore the Oysterquartz name—the Datejust and the Day Date. Rolex cleverly balanced classic design details of the traditional (i.e. mechanical versions) Datejust and the Day Date watches with traits that are exclusive to the Oysterquartz version. For example, similar to the traditional Rolex President watch, the Oysterquartz Day-Date is only available in precious metal. In this case, there are only gold Oysterquartz Day-Date watches in either yellow or white shades. Furthermore, like their mechanical counterparts, the gold Oysterquartz Day-Date watches sport a 36mm Oyster case. However, the Oysterquartz versions actually wear bigger thanks to the distinct angular shape of the case. Additionally, the gold Oysterquartz Day-Date watches also come with the signature President bracelet, but in an integrated style. Of course, as its name suggests, the gold Oysterquartz President timepieces also include the pair of iconic day and date windows that made the collection so famous. But, this time, powering the watches’ functions is the Rolex Caliber 5055 quartz movement. Although early models of the Datejust Caliber 5035 were not COSC-certified, all Caliber 5055 movements beating at the core of Oysterquartz Day Date timepieces are indeed certified chronometers. As a result, all gold Oysterquartz watches will include the “Superlative Chronometer Officially Certified” designation on the dial. Available now with Privilege Dubai. |
