Rolex ref. 1530
The angular, integrated bracelet steel case of the Rolex ref. 1530 was originally designed for the Oysterquartz. In 1975, before introducing the Oysterquartz, Rolex produced a limited number of ref. 1530, housing the chronometer-certified, caliber 1570. This model was discontinued shortly-after, in 1977, upon introduction of Rolex's quartz calibre. It’s estimated that less than 1,500 examples of the ref. 1530 were produced.
Best to you all.

There are many available on C24
and prices have become more reasonable than during the Covid years.
I think so too.
I'm not at all into Rolex, but I think the Oysterquartz case was really nice.
That is a good looking watch,
and that is from someone who DOES NOT like integrated bracelets.
So your appreciation means even more, obviously!
I wonder why it isn't more sought after.
Wow, what a nice and very rare Rolex Reference!
I would love to add one to my collection but it is hard to find a good one, most available ones have overpolished cases or dials that have seen better days...
