Daytona "Zenith"
The first of its kind!
An iconic chronograph from modern Rolex history – the Daytona 16520 with the legendary Zenith automatic movement is one of the most sought-after references from the house. It marks the transition into the era of Daytona models from hand-winding to automatic movements.
Our offered example is a W-series from 1995 and features the coveted white tritium dial with matching tritium hands.
The 40 mm stainless steel case is in a beautiful, honest vintage condition. The watch has not been over-polished and the flanks still have substance and in some places the original waterfall polishing is still visible. Naturally occurring signs of wear from the last 30 years, which emphasize the character and originality, are visible on the case, bezel and Oyster bracelet. The Oyster clasp also bears the correct code "W4", absolutely consistent with the year of manufacture of the watch.
The watch was purchased in the fall of 1995 in Toronto, Canada at the Rolex dealer and therefore has the country code 700. The original hangtag with the matching serial number is also included in the delivery.
Inside, the proven Rolex Caliber 4030 is at work, based on the famous Zenith El Primero – modified and refined by Rolex to meet the high quality standards of the brand.
The Daytona is offered with the original box and papers, was fully inspected in our workshop and comes with a 1-year warranty.
