does Rolex currently have any quartz movements available?

I have read that Rolex has discontinued the Oyster Quartz models and it seems as if they do not have any quartz movements is production. Is this correct? If it is not, does anyone know of the models available? and are they any good?

I read recently that Rolex continues to manufacture the Quartz. Albeit in very tiny volumes.

never seen a new one out in the wild.

I was told that they make the DJ in the quartz version. If anyone has a photo it would be great to see.

Some of the Rolex Cellini models use quartz movements. So yes, Rolex still does use quartz movements.

Rolex quit making the Oysterquartz movements in 2001. Aside from a few prototype perpetual calendar Day-Date movements, no quartz movements of that type have been produced since.

Correct......

The Cellini's are both still manual wind for the mens traditional models, and quartz for most of the womens and certain men's models....
