Something a little different!
If you’re chasing a solid gold Rolex that stands out from the usual Day-Date crowd, the OysterQuartz is one of the coolest places to look. Angular case, integrated bracelet, and a design that feels straight out of the late 70s and 80s luxury sport era.
Production numbers were extremely low for Rolex standards. It’s estimated only around 25,000 OysterQuartz watches were ever produced across the entire lineup. That includes every configuration: Datejust, Day-Date, steel, gold, every dial variation.
This example from 1986 is the full 18k yellow gold Day-Date, and it’s a proper chunk of precious metal. Weighing in at approximately 147g, the lightweight quartz movement means the majority of that weight is gold. In other words, you’re backed by the Rolex name and very real intrinsic value.
Condition is honest and original with light marks throughout and an average amount of bracelet stretch, exactly what you’d expect from a piece approaching 40 years old. It would polish beautifully if desired, though many would prefer to leave them as-is.
A great entry into the solid gold Rolex world, and something a little more interesting than the usual suspects.
