In the history of Rolex, rare are the entire model lines that have been produced for more than 10 years in less than 25,000 pieces, all references and configurations combined. With its classic steel case and bracelet, the 17000 stands out with its characteristic 70's design as well as its integrated bracelet which reminds the Royal Oak by Genta. This reference brings a wind of freshness and originality to the Rolex range of models, and its design and mouvement strongly reminiscent of a pivotal moment in the Swiss watch industry. 
A worthy representative of Rolex quartz production, this particular piece is in fantastic condition. It is a mk3 version, represented by the "T Swiss Made T" dial. The case and bracelet are amazing, as they have never been polished, proving that the piece has been extremely well preserved. The silver dial is immaculate, and the tritium, although still light, has gained an even and charming patina, making this piece something unique on the wrist. Whether it's the charisma it exudes or the rarity of the Oysterquartz, this watch is a real hidden gem and no doubt a future collector's item.
