A Rolex Datejust Oysterquartz Texano Watch, crafted in solid 18ct yellow gold, represents a true collector’s piece and a pivotal moment in Rolex history. Produced in 1972 as part of a limited series of just 1,000 pieces, the reference 5100 is famously known as the “Texano” and was the very first Rolex model to feature a quartz movement — specifically the Swiss-developed Beta 21 calibre.
Encased in a bold 39mm case, this watch is a distinctive departure from Rolex’s traditional aesthetics, featuring sharp lines, a substantial profile, and an unmistakable vintage character. The champagne dial is elegantly enhanced with original Rolex-set diamond hour markers, exuding luxury while retaining the clean design language of the era. The watch is presented on a black leather strap with a solid 18ct yellow gold Rolex clasp. Still, it is also accompanied by its original matching gold bracelet — a valuable addition for collectors.
This early quartz movement was a joint Swiss project among several leading brands, and the 5100 stands today as a rare and coveted example of Rolex’s innovation. Offered in good condition, this timepiece is boxed, certified, and includes a 12-month WLC warranty. A significant and rare Rolex for the discerning collector.
