Rolex Oysterquartz Datejust 17000
The Rolex Oysterquartz Datejust Ref. 17000 is a distinctive and increasingly collectible chapter in Rolex’s history, representing the brand’s bold and technically sophisticated foray into high-accuracy quartz watchmaking during the late 1970s . This timepiece features a 36mm stainless steel case with the unique, angular “cushion” shape and an integrated stainless steel Oyster-style bracelet that set the Oysterquartz line apart from any other Rolex model . The classic silver dial offers a refined, versatile canvas, with its applied baton hour markers and the practical date window at 3 o’clock magnified by the iconic Cyclops lens integrated into the scratch-resistant sapphire crystal, ensuring both legibility and a timeless aesthetic . At its heart beats the legendary Rolex Caliber 5035, an in-house, COSC-certified quartz movement renowned for its exceptional precision, thermocompensated stability, and robust construction—a testament to Rolex’s rare yet significant venture into high-accuracy quartz technology that set new standards at the time . Produced from approximately 1977 until 2001, the Oysterquartz Datejust 17000 is relatively rare, with total Oysterquartz production across all variants numbering only around 25,000 units . This reference represents a compelling fusion of horological history, distinctive 1980s design, technical sophistication, and the unmistakable prestige of the Rolex crown, making it a highly sought-after piece for the discerning collector . Key specifications: 36mm stainless steel case; smooth steel bezel; silver dial with baton markers; Rolex Caliber 5035 quartz movement; integrated stainless steel Oyster bracelet; 100m water resistance; sapphire crystal with Cyclops .
