For sale we have a stunning and rare 1986 Rolex Oysterquartz Day-Date Ref. 19019, an exceptional timepiece crafted in solid 18k white gold.
The white gold variant of the Oysterquartz is significantly rarer than the more common yellow gold version, primarily due to lower production numbers and market demand. Additionally, many of the examples available on the market are over polished, in bad condition and feature less interesting dial configurations. The piece, contrary to others, is in exceptional condition and features a Rare grey sunburst dial.
The 19019 has a versatile 36mm angular case, complemented by a unique Integrated bracelet with concealed clasp for a seamless and uninterrupted design.
The sunburst grey dial features white gold baton hour markers and white gold hands. The cool grey dial compliments the white gold metal perfectly creating an understated yet elegant aesthetic.
The ‘Day’ window can be found at 12 O’clock, prominently displayed in the English language.
The date appears at 3 o'clock, elegantly framed by a cyclops lens on the crystal and features a quickset function for easy adjustment.
This timepiece has been well cared for and is in exceptional condition as can be seen in the photos.
The Rolex Oysterquartz is a fascinating chapter in Rolex's history, representing the brand's foray into quartz technology during the late 20th century. The Oysterquartz was a response to the quartz crisis that affected the watch industry in the 1970s, when battery-powered watches gained popularity and threatened traditional mechanical timepieces.
The Oysterquartz has gained appreciation over time for its unique design and technical innovation. It serves as a reminder of Rolex's adaptability in an evolving market.
