1980 Rolex Oysterquartz Datejust Silver Dial 17000

SOLD OUT

A superb condition just serviced 1980 Rolex Datejust Oysterquartz reference 17000 aka "smooth bezel", featuring a perfect condition silver dial with perfect lume plots and matching hands. This classic timepiece is known for its retro "Gérald Genta-ish" 70s/80s vibes and timeless elegance and versatile style. This example comes on its original stainless steel Rolex oyster integrated bracelet complementing the stainless steel case beautifully, making it suitable for both formal and casual occasions. 

The 1980s Rolex Oysterquartz Datejust, particularly the reference 17000, represents a bold departure from traditional Rolex design, embracing the quartz revolution with unmistakable flair. Introduced in the late 1970s but continuing strong through the '80s, the 17000 was crafted entirely in stainless steel and featured an integrated bracelet and angular case design, reflecting the era’s preference for sharp, modern lines. Unlike its mechanical counterparts, the 17000 was powered by the Rolex Caliber 5035 quartz movement—an in-house, COSC-certified chronometer that set a high standard for precision and durability in quartz technology. The dial layout remained true to the classic Datejust style, complete with the date window and Cyclops lens, but the overall aesthetic was distinctly more contemporary and avant-garde. The 17000 stands today as a unique fusion of Rolex heritage and 1980s innovation, highly sought after for its rarity, craftsmanship, and unmistakable design language.
