Rolex Oysterquartz Datejust from 1977 is the retro watch you have been looking for. Rolex manufactured the Oysterquartz for 25 years starting from 1977. Watch serial number indicates that this watch is from the early stages of manufacturing. Rolex produced Oysterquartz watches approximately only 1000 pieces per year, which makes around 25000 in total, and it makes this model a rare piece to find.
This watch comes with an additional champagne colored dial. Also, a smooth stainless steel bezel, original hands and our written document are included to the package. This watch comes without original box or papers. Watch has been serviced in the early 2021 in an official Rolex service center, but there are no documents of this.
