Rolex Service:
The timepiece was serviced by Rolex in October 2025 and is accompanied by its official Rolex service card, providing peace of mind and confirming its recent maintenance by the manufacturer. The watch is under Rolex manufacturer warranty until October 2027.

The Case & Bracelet:
The watch features Rolex’s iconic 36mm angular Oysterquartz case, defined by sharp architectural lines that set it apart from traditional Oyster models.

The case is paired with the original integrated Oysterquartz bracelet, fitted with a concealed clasp for a seamless and uninterrupted aesthetic. This bracelet is factory diamond-set, with brilliant-cut diamonds mounted across the center links, executed to Rolex’s exacting factory standards.

The Factory Diamond Bezel:
The bezel is a factory-set diamond bezel, crafted in solid 18k yellow gold and adorned with meticulously selected brilliant-cut diamonds. This factory bezel elevates the Oysterquartz’s already bold design into a true statement of luxury and rarity.

The Black Pyramid Dial:
The standout black pyramid dial features a three-dimensional geometric pyramid pattern, the dial exhibits remarkable depth and texture, shifting character beautifully under changing light.

Applied Roman numeral hour markers in gold provide contrast and legibility, while the iconic Day-Date display reinforces the model’s prestige and functional elegance.

Historical Significance:
The Oysterquartz occupies a unique and important place in Rolex history, representing the brand’s response to the quartz revolution of the late 1970s and early 1980s. Unlike most quartz watches of the era, the Oysterquartz was entirely engineered and manufactured in-house by Rolex, featuring a high-precision quartz movement built to the same uncompromising standards as their mechanical calibres.

Today, Oysterquartz models are increasingly appreciated for their bold design, technical innovation, and relative scarcity — with diamond-set Day-Date examples like this standing at the very top of collectability.
