Rolex "Oysterquartz Datejust Superlative Chronometer officially certified", Movement No. 0010012, Case No. 6409992, Ref. 17000, Cal. 5035, 36 mm, circa 1979
A rare vintage wristwatch with date and precision quartz movement
Case: steel, screw back ref. 17000B, screwed "Twinlock" winding crown, steel bracelet ref. 17000B, clasp P9, bracelet length 150 mm, total length 190 mm. Dial: silvered.
Rolex launched the models "Oysterquartz Datejust" (Ref. 17000, 17013, 17014) and "Oysterquartz Day-Date" (Ref. 19018, 19019) in 1977. The rare timepieces are easily identifiable by the distinctive angular shape of the case and the bracelet elements, as well as by the writing on the dial. The quartz movements had chronometer certification; however, production was eventually stopped. The exact time of this is difficult to pinpoint - quartz models were still available in the late 1990s.
