1987 Rolex Oysterquartz Datejust 17013 - Two-Tone Champagne Dial

Trade In
Details
A Different Kind Of Rolex
The Oysterquartz was Rolex's answer to the technological revolution of the 1970s. Rather than outsource, the brand spent years developing its own high-precision quartz movement, housing it in a case that was a radical departure from anything else in the catalog. The angular, integrated design broke sharply with the rounded Oyster silhouette, creating a watch that was a product of its era. It was a statement of technical confidence and design intent.
The Quintessential Configuration
This 1987 example represents the most classic execution of the Oysterquartz Datejust. The two-tone steel and yellow gold combination, paired with a clean champagne dial, is the definitive look for the reference. The sharp facets and integrated bracelet give the watch a distinct character that sets it apart from its mechanical counterparts. It is a design that feels both uniquely of its time and surprisingly contemporary on the wrist.
Well-Preserved And Ready To Wear
This example is in very good overall condition. The angular case and integrated bracelet present well, showing honest wear consistent with careful use. The case appears to be unpolished, retaining its sharp factory geometry. The classic champagne dial is perfect. As with every watch we offer, this piece has been verified as mechanically sound and is ready to wear.
A Design That Stands Apart
For collectors, the Oysterquartz has moved from an overlooked footnote to a reference of genuine interest. It is the right choice for someone who appreciates the quality and history of Rolex but wants a design that stands out from the crowd. The combination of the over-engineered quartz movement and the unique case design makes it a confident and knowledgeable choice for a daily watch that carries a piece of the brand's history.

What Our Clients Say About Us

I knew I was gonna like Danny, based on his name, but nothing could’ve prepared me for how great of an experience this was. He had the most beautiful 70s Seamaster Cosmic on his website and I was set to be married 2 days later - I arranged to buy it but before leaving we both realized it needed to be serviced. I panicked, because I was literally buying this for my wedding, and Danny being the legend he is, loaned me a nearly identical Seamaster to make sure I could get through the event Never have I had someone go so above and beyond for me, especially while purchasing one of the lesser priced items in their inventory. He serviced my watch and exchanged it with me after the wedding on a super fast turnaround timeline. I would sincerely recommend you visit this guy, you will not be disappointed Edit: adding a pic of the loaner (two tone) and the owner (crosshair)

Great service and shop. Danny and his team were incredibly accommodating, professional, and kind. Great selection of vintage watches. Their store is the hidden gem in the diamond district.

This was my first real luxury watch purchase, a Rolex 15200 Date 34mm, I own Tissots and a Laco, but those are entry level luxury watches. I found Danny’s Vintage Watches online, and had great feedback both on Google, Chrono24 and the Reddit watch community. So decided to give him a shot as buying online can be a crap shoot. Ordered Monday night, was at my doorstep Friday morning. Despite the watch being over 30 years old, serial number says it’s from 91, the watch looked new. Didn’t come with box or papers, and was shipped in a plastic sleeve wrapped in bubble wrap. Danny was always available to answer questions. I’ll be buying from Danny again for the next purchase…saw a couple of Speedmasters on his site I liked….
