While Rolex is known for its mechanical timepieces, but throughout the 1970s and 1980s, channeled its resources in creating their very own in-house quartz movements, one of them being the caliber 5055. Known as the “OysterQuartz”, this caliber functioned similarly and accurately as any automatic Day-Date movement. This caliber was equipped on some reference and among them we find the present Day-Date Oysterquartz 19 019. This Day Date Oysterquartz is fitted with a very audacious and eye-catching dial Rolex has ever produced. It is a blue dial with applied precious stones: a total of 2 diamond baguette is, furthermore, enhanced by 8 diamond with brilliant-cut nestled between each index for the hours. It is equipped with a case in full 18k white gold in outstanding conditions like the integrated bracelet, making you understand that this wristwatch has been worn only occasionally in all its life. During that period the Oysterquartz model did not find an audience that appreciated it and the quantities that Rolex produced were few. Moreover the white gold is very rare to find, usually the common one is the yellow gold.
