The Rolex Oysterquartz Datejust Ref. 17013 represents a rare and fascinating chapter in Rolex’s history. Launched in 1979, this model is powered by the Rolex Calibre 5035, a quartz movement that received COSC certification—making it both precise and technically distinct from Rolex’s usual mechanical lineup.
Visually, the 17013 carries the classic cues of a two-tone Datejust: a 36 mm case crafted in stainless steel, accented by a 14k yellow gold fluted bezel and gold winding crown. The integrated Jubilee-style bracelet blends polished and brushed central gold links, giving the watch its iconic Rolex rolesor look.
Under magnification, the champagne dial is understated but elegant, with index hour markers and tritium-lumed hands. At 3 o’clock, the date window is magnified by the famous Cyclops lens. Because it’s quartz, the seconds hand ticks in discrete steps rather than sweeping—a detail that hints at its distinct mechanism.
At Rex Watches NYC, we treat Oysterquartz models with special care. We authenticate the movement (ensuring it’s a genuine 5035), confirm the sharpness of case edges (less polished oversmooth), and verify that the integrated bracelet links and clasp function correctly. This listing includes a detailed condition report and a 1-year mechanical warranty (covering the quartz mechanism) to give buyers confidence.
Because production of the Oysterquartz was limited (less than ~25,000 units across all references) and its design is unique within Rolex’s catalogue, the 17013 is a sought-after model among collectors. It offers classic Rolex aesthetic qualities while standing apart in its movement and angular case design. For a collector looking for a conversation piece that’s still unmistakably Rolex, this Oysterquartz Datejust is a standout choice.
