Rolex “Datejust 17013 Buckley” Oysterquartz

Description

Offered here is a Rolex Datejust, reference 17013, circa 1980, under the “Oysterquartz” line, made in two-tone stainless steel and gold.  These quartz watches were produced in the 1980s during the “quartz crisis”, and have risen in popularity as of late as an interesting footnote in horological history.  This particular Rolex Oysterquartz Datejust features an uncommon and popular “Buckley” dial (painted roman numerals), named after the esteemed collector, John Buckley.  The watch itself remains in excellent condition, with a lightly polished case (still with original bevels), and perfect dial, also maintaining its original tritium lume on both dial and hands, which has aged to a pale yellow color.  The watch is fully-linked, with 13 full links.
