Notes

In the middle of the quartz crisis Rolex released the first Oysterquartz in 1976 for a market requiring highly precision timepieces. The Oysterquartz is indeed a rare timepiece. It has been in production for over 25 years with an estimate of 25,000 examples produced. This example comes with an amazing wood dial adorned by diamond indexes.
