Rolex Quartz 17000

The Rolex Oysterquartz 17000—honestly, kind of a sleeper hit—launched in the late '70s with a vibe that’s equal parts precision and bold design. Yeah, it’s quartz (Rolex doesn't do that often), but it’s still very much a Rolex: angular case, integrated bracelet, that signature refinement. At Tropical Watch, we see collectors gravitate toward this model more and more—it's unexpectedly cool and quietly iconic.
