Daytona "Zenith"
Sold
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 automatic Daytona models and has a permanent place in the collector's world today.
Our offered example is a W-series from 1995 and features the coveted white tritium dial with matching tritium hands. The even, gently aged luminous material gives the watch exactly that authentic vintage appeal that collectors appreciate so much.
The 40 mm stainless steel case is in a very beautiful, honest vintage condition – unpolished and with only slight, naturally occurring signs of wear that emphasize its character and originality. The Oyster clasp also bears the correct code "W8", absolutely consistent with the year of manufacture of the watch.
Inside, the proven Rolex Calibre 4030 is at work, based on the famous Zenith El Primero – modified and refined by Rolex to meet the brand's high quality standards. A movement that stands equally for collector history, reliability, and high precision.
The Daytona is offered without box and papers, but has been fully inspected in our atelier and comes with a 1-year warranty.
An outstanding collector's item from the coveted "Zenith era" – authentic, original, and with that patina that only time can provide. A must-have for lovers of historic Daytona models.
