The Rolex Oystequartz models had a production run from around 1977 until 2001 with the last models leaving the factory in Geneva in 2003. Throughout that period it is believed that around 25,000 pieces have been produced making the Oysterquartz line very desirable among collectors.
We'd like to point out that in our view, the dial, albeit beautiful, has probably been recently refinished, as it does not feature the SCOC designation on the dial. According to the serial the watch was produced in the early part of 1979 and sold in 1981 as per the papers, whilst the COSC certification of the movement was granted later in the same year.
This Rolex Oysterquartz, model 17000, features a 36mm tonneau shaped case, silver refinished dial with baton hour markers, silvered hands and date aperture to 3 o'clock.
Another interesting fact relates to the bracelet of the watch. The Oysterquartz was the only Rolex model to be supplied with a solid link integrated bracelet with no end links nor link removable screws.
As it was already aforementioned, the watch operates from a quartz powered movement, caliber 5035 and is water resistant to 100m.
