Rolex OysterQuartz Ref 19019 White Gold Day Date On Sale

It is hard to get a OysterQuartz,

It is harder to get a White Gold OysterQuartz,

It is very difficult to get such a condition of OysterQuartz with white dial with a few small diamonds on dial.

Purely for those who knows what OysterQuartz is and purely for those who could value the true value of Rolex OysterQuartz ...

Note: for those who believe FungShui, the nine "9" means forever, longevity, this watch carries many "9"!

Who are the Philippine First Three OysterQuartz Day Date Watch Owner?

Left is my Rolex Day Date 18039 and Right is Robert's Ref 19018

 

 

 

I had lucky to see a mature and decent business man 10 metres away to tell he was wearing a Rolex at Bellevue Hotel Alabang this evening.

This is no ordinary Rolex, it is a Day Date with Quartz movement, due to the special design of Patek Philippe Like Bracelet and AP Royal Oak Like Watch case.  

It would not be mistakenly to be identified as The Famous Rolex Day Date OysterQuartz Ref 19018.

Oh Yes, when I approached closer, and I asked permission to sit down and started asking question about his watch. Well, he removed it and passed to me to scrutinize… Roman Numeral Dial and it seems to be the original colour was white and over the 37 years it changed to a patina yellow.

The Watch is heavily used as I can see signs of wearing. He told me it was bought in at US Navy with   USD5,000 after 40% discount in the year of 1978.

Robert is his name, he told me that at that time if you can provide the staff ID of an airlines, you are entitled to have less 20% discount at Rolex.

Oh, in 1978, a Rolex Date Just 36mm in Two Tone Rose gold was about HKD$3,700  and this Rolex OysterQuartz was sold at USD $5,000.  That is  the price for a Car.

He told me he is the FIRST Philippine people to buy this Watch.

Second is Eduardo Cojuangco (the owner of San Miguel)

And the third one is Eddie Diaz GSA of Korean Air.

After all these years, he had just serviced this watch in Rolex Service Centre TWICE.

He likes this watch for its accuracy and durability.

He is the Founder for WWW.thewinemuseum.org.

 

Remarks

Rolex Produced the legendary Oysterquartz since 1977 till 2003, with 1,000 units made every year.

So totally 25,000 OysterQuartz watches were made, and I estimate that there are 35%  Stainless steel watch, and 35% stainless steel and yellow gold, 20% yellow gold and 10% in White Gold.

Well, this Yellow gold is one of the 5,000 units.

A Patek Rolex, Rolex OysterQuartz

Rolex OysterQuartz Ref 17013



A Patek Rolex?

What is a Patek Rolex?

I am not talking about a FrankenWatch! That is not Double name Rolex or Double name Patek Philippe!

As all we know Rolex’s service charges is one of the most reasonable amongst those Swiss Luxury  brands PP, AP, VC, Cartier and Piaget...etc

Somehow some part of the world has changed as friend of mine had has recently crushed on Rolex Oyster Quartz.

He had had a Day Date OysterQuartz ref 19018, and he has purchased a  two tone Oyster Quartz Ref 17013 with HKD$18,000.

This is his habit to restore his watch to tip-top condition for all the purchases.

Like us, after the watch is serviced to best condition we can, then we start to search all the accessories such as original box,  manual, tag, calendar, warranty card holder under the same years the watch was sold to make a full set.

So as usual, for every watch he buys, he used to send to RVC to make a complete service.

After waiting three weeks anxiously like ants on the wok, this is the quotation he got from RVC.

Case and Crown $9,750 (steel)

Bracelet $27,000 (Two Tone)

Bezel $7,500 (18KT gold)

Case back $760 (steel)

Sapphire Crystal $970 

Service  charge $8,270  (cleaning and lubrication on the Movement, battery Changes , may be they give you Maxwell battery Cell known to be the best Quality!)

The above is recommendation from Rolex for his watch to be upgraded with the new parts.

The total charges is $54,250!

The about price is for replacement while your orginal parts will be confiscated.

Total Cost of such a NEW OysterQuartz  becomes $72,250  so that is why I call this Patek Rolex!

I am thinking if I send my Day Date Ref 19018 Birch dial to service, I may receive a quotation of $200,000!

May be you don't know, the price of Rolex OysterQuarzt part is astonishing, one section of the 18KT yellow gold bracelet link is HKD$7,500, a full length has 23 Pcs, that is a total price of HKD$172,500!

That is price of a NEW OysterQuartz Yellow Gold bracelet…

Now you know what Patek-Rolex I am talking about!!

金撈呀！勞力士（Rolex）肯定係香港最家傳户繞的名牌手錶。以前阿燦叫 " 五枝火柴頭 "

今日有人話勞力士不在十大名錶系列之中 ，我覺得你是用什麼尺度去看勞力士喇。

如果我話年產量，防水能力，耐用度，拍賣會暴光率，保值能力，肯定係瑞士四大之一。

幾十年前的香港，送贈名錶當禮物比表叔，甚麼好?「牌子不知，總之是“五枝火柴頭”」就一定掂!
中環的女白領麗人，售貨員，酒樓女部長知客，商人，老細，银行經理，小巴司機，商界鉅子、工程師，地盤管工、「出來行」的古惑仔，大佬，都喜歡戴勞力士。「金撈」者，「襟撈」也。


勞力士一定可以賺到戴
勞力士不能另你賺錢，可以話保值，
其抗通脹能力較皆。如果話話勞力士可以升值，那丁皇，的生，方向錶店，周大叔，周先生D大哥大姐重會賣比你咩?

勞力士的石英錶
人言: 草根戴石英，富貴走機械。

唔一定。有好多闊太大商家都中意石英錶，重係十幾萬元以上的。因為方便同見得人。所以愛彼和菲麗都生產石英錶的。那勞力士呢，2003年已吾出了。我重比人講我隻勞力分力士原來是石英的，，，，，一定是溜嘢!
錯呀，玩錶最無瘾是同人撞錶! 你去波, 位位都係帶D大路貨!

一隻白金的勞力士19019或19018石榴花面唔恨死格離條友至怪。事關兩者生產加理少於四百隻。

勞力士花了好多錢研究石錶惢，可能是七十年代十大名錶的總和! 當時一隻勞力士石英錶的訂價大約是一隻機械錶的2.5倍，以當時計，可以在旺角買到一個單位了。

今日來看，足四兩重，實心金，有份量及質感，線條爽朗明快，超時代設計，AP 重話要告勞力士抄佢嘅Royal Oak 錶形設計喎!

你問我，怎樣形容佢·····
一個字:型!
两個字:靚仔!
三個字:粗口唔出得街呀！


重有，隻錶好準!每次見到同電台對錶，一齊同步跳，好鬼有滿足感!

Another Killer Rolex, rare Ref 19019 White Gold OysterQuartz Day Date

Osvaldo Patrizzi belived that there are only 1,000 pieces of Ref 19019 made!

Needless to say, this is one of my favourite Rolex Watches. A Day Date in White gold with Super Accuracy no other Rolex non Quartz Rolex can beat it.

Friend of mine who purposely SHOW OFF yesterday during our regular Tea-Watch Gathering.

Price of such an super excellent condition watch is in the range of HKD$95,000-115,000.

Note the Special OysterQuartz box, itself is a collectible item.

I love Rolex Day Date Oyster Quartz

I love Rolex OysterQuartz

I know what other people thinking, Quartz Watch is not in the list of Collector’s item.

As many of the Swiss watch makers always carry words saying that Electronics watch is valueless, only mechanical watch is a treasure to the Collectors!

To me, certain extent it is true, but in other point of view it is not true.

Rolex has huge R&D in Quartz watch and electronic controller of their Own., they use probably the best electronic processor chip being made in that time 1970s till 2003. Yes, of course to me understanding those OysterQuartz watch should have a better reliability, as they are made by using the state of the art wire bonder, and Die Bonder, and this chip was made with the latest LSI technology of Semiconductor manufacturing.

Rolex had had a system to filter the non-conforming  chip board by burning in an environment chamber to read their performance of the watch in programmed heat cold temperature and humidity, those are written in Rolex OysterQuartz catalogue.

And Rolex still have not less than 3,000 OysterQuartz  movements in their warehouse I think as spare to support in the case of FAILURE.  And  I have been using more than 5 pieces of OysterQuartz Day Date I the past ten years. So far there is no single report of PROBLEM.

And I believe that watch can run at least more 30 years.  So what do you think of?  On the other hand It is BEAUTIFUL, I adore the case design and the matching bracelet., it is totally a new look of Rolex, it is modern and never look old.

More concern to be is their price, SO CHEAP, as most of the people is so afraid of OysterQuartz, they prefer Mechanical, the OsyterQuartz is left behind and no one to ask… Imagine a Solid gold watch of superb accuracy is asking just HKD$60K. There is 130 gram of Solid 18Kt gold!! Can you imagine how much you can get from selling the gold? At least HKD$35,000! So what you pay is just HKD$25000 for a Solid gold Rolex Day Date!!

You are right, if the price is too low, 90% is fake one, beware, and there is a lot of Frankenwatch in the internet on those Submariners, also we have to take care..  But I do not see any fake Rolex Day Date of OysterQuartz as there is no market on that, 99% you buy will be  genuine Rolex Day Date OysterQuartz.

Just one small worry, is that someone may think you Rolex OysterQuartz is fake as they are told Rolex does not have “tick” jumping hand… Well it is the outsiders, who care….

Oyster Quartz Day Date is somewhat Like Mercedes Benz 600, BMW M1, Lamborghini Contauch or Aston Martin DB5. when it is displayed in front oe me... I would not able to stop saying: " WOW!, it is Awesome!"
