Rolex Day-Date Oyster Quartz Calibre 5055 Movement and Dial

This is an original Rolex Day Date Oyster quartz Calibre 5055 movement with its matching factory dial. The set comes from a single owner who purchased the watch new in 1979. The original 18ct gold case and Jubilee bracelet were removed and sold for their gold value, leaving the movement and dial preserved exactly as they were worn. The original box is also included (see images).

 The movement is running and presents well for its age. The dial shows the expected quality of period Oyster quartz models with clean text, applied markers and the classic Day and Date layout. These parts are increasingly difficult to source as complete and untouched examples, especially with known ownership history.

This is suitable for restoration projects, collectors seeking correct period parts or anyone looking to rebuild an Oyster quartz Day Date with authentic components rather than service replacements.

In working condition with age related marks consistent with careful use.
