Here we have an exceptional Rolex. Not only is the design exceptional compared to other Rolex models, but the installed quartz movement also sets the watch apart from all others.
After more than 5 years of development, the watch was introduced in 1976. At that time, everyone thought quartz movements were the future. As we know, things turned out differently. And because they turned out so differently, only around 25,000 units of all Oysterquartz model variants were produced by 2001. Therefore, you will not come across this model often, and it represents an extremely good investment.
The watch is in very good condition. The edges are sharp, showing minor scratches and signs of wear in places.
The patina on the original dial and original hands is fantastic.
The bracelet has very little stretch.
Inside is the 5035 quartz movement, which oscillates with a rate deviation of ONLY around 1 minute per year. The average battery life is 3 years.
The watch has been fully serviced by our atelier.
