Lot Essay
Rolex released the Oysterquartz Datejust and Day-Date in the late 1970s and these lines were discontinued in 2001. The Oysterquartz Datejust looks similar to the traditional Datejust except in a more angular case with integrated bracelet. This particular model in steel and 18k yellow gold would be a great watch for casual and dressy occasions.
