Used Rolex Day-Date OysterQuartz 19018 Yellow Gold
Pre-Owned Rolex OysterQuartz Day-Date ref 19018 (1978) was produced during a curious time in Swiss watchmaking. In an era commonly referred to as the "Quartz Crises" of the 1970s and 1980s, cheap, quartz-powered watches were taking the market by storm and threatening to topple the Swiss industry. However, many top brands, including Rolex, endured by developing their own quartz-powered timepieces. The OysterQuartz was a product of that era and is an incredibly fascinating part of Rolex's history. It has many of the same design elements as the mechanical Day-Date but has a special integrated bracelet and angular case to set it apart. Additionally, it is powered by a Rolex caliber quartz movement, painstakingly developed in-house to ensure unparalleled precision. This ref. 19018 is the watch for someone who wants a coveted gold Rolex with a slightly different aesthetic.
