Rolex Oysterquartz Datejust 17013 – Champagne Dial (c.1981)

An early example of the Oysterquartz Datejust, reference 17013. This piece features a soft gold-tone dial with tritium lume, framed by a yellow gold fluted bezel and paired with the original integrated steel and gold bracelet. The angular case architecture and brushed surfaces remain distinct within the Rolex catalogue — a sharp contrast to its automatic counterpart.

Powered by the in-house quartz calibre 5035, known for its precision and durability. Signed crown, sapphire crystal, and applied gold hour markers.
