Throughout the 1970s and 1980s , Rolex channeled their resources in creating their very own in-house quartz movements , one of them being the calibre 5055 . Known as the β OysterQuartz β, this calibre functioned similarly and accurately as any automatic Day-Date movement , such as the 1556 .
This particular OysterQuartz is an outstanding example due to a number of reasons . Firstly , the watch features a β Decor Pyramide β bezel which is very rare . The β Pyramide β motif is repeated on the centre links of the bracelet , and again evoked through the watch numerals . Secondly , the watch is presented to us in brand new condition . It has never been polished , and retains all original factory finishes , including the clasp which is stamped 19028 and is original to the watch . The watch dial has been kept in impeccable condition , with all luminous intact and perfectly round . Finally , the present watch is accompanied with its original guarantee .
