Rolex Date Reference 1530 1977

In the early 1970s Rolex decided to come up with their own version of a perfect quartz movement that could be serviced by a trained watchmaker. It actually took them five years to reach their goal, but in the meantime they had already built the perfect case to house such a revolutionary caliber.

The result was a very angular case with an integrated bracelet, much like the Royal Oak from Audemars Piguet. In 1975, Rolex decided to combine this case with the chronometer-certified caliber 1570 movement, launching the short-lived reference 1530, which was discontinued as soon as the first Oysterquartz watches were released in 1977.

This 1530 is historically significant as it belongs to an era where Rolex almost transitioned to being a quartz-only maker. It is also a super rare reference, given that the total production is estimated below 1,500 examples http://www.watchesbuyoff.com/.

1960s Rolex GMT-Master Pepsi Bezel Watch

This GMT exhibits a lovely, uniform patina between the hands and the dial. There is a tiny scratch on the lume of the GMT hand that is only visible with a loupe http://www.watchesbuyoff.com/.

The case remains fat with visible bevels on the lugs, however there are signs of light polishing. Also note one small ding on the edge of the lower right lug as well as light scratches throughout from normal age and wear. It comes with a period-correct Oyster bracelet reference 7206 produced in Mexico for an American department store; it is important to note that we cannot say if the watch was born with this bracelet as the Oyster folding clasp reference 7836 bracelet is also a possibility.

However, the 7206 bracelet you see here does come from the correct period (1960s) and could be a possible match. Note that the bezel insert has been replaced, as is commonplace with regular servicing by Rolex.
