Condition Report

Pre-owned condition, with visible signs of age and wear.

The case, bracelet and clasp display surface scratches and marks consistent with use, with more noticeable scratches on the clasp. The fluted gold bezel also presents small marks. Surface wear is visible around the crystal edge, while the white dial, contrasting Roman numerals and gold-tone hands retain an attractive appearance.

The case back shows scratches and retains a worn green sticker. Please examine the photographs carefully, as they form an essential part of the condition description.

Water resistance has not been tested. Contact with water should therefore be avoided unless the watch is professionally pressure-tested and resealed.

Story & Heritage

The Oysterquartz Datejust offers a particularly compelling interpretation of the Rolex aesthetic. Its angular case and integrated bracelet create a continuous profile, giving the watch a sculptural character that is immediately apparent on the wrist.

This example balances that strong geometry with traditional decorative details. The fluted gold bezel catches the light, while the white dial provides a crisp backdrop for the black Roman numerals. The gold-tone hands and applied coronet connect the dial visually with the precious-metal elements of the case and bracelet.

The bracelet is central to the composition. Broad steel links and parallel gold accents extend the lines of the case, creating a cohesive design with both substance and elegance. At 36 mm, the watch retains a measured presence that allows these details to speak for themselves.

For a collector drawn to distinctive Rolex designs, this Oysterquartz Datejust offers an attractive combination of quartz character, classical dial styling and architectural proportions. It is a watch whose appeal lies as much in its overall silhouette as in the familiar details discovered at closer inspection.
