Rolex Daytona 16520

Description

Daytona Zenith 16520 c. 1999

The Zenith-powered Daytona represents a fascinating chapter in Rolex's history, when the brand turned to the El Primero movement to create their first automatic chronograph. This ref. 16520 from around 1999 captures the final years of this collaboration, with Rolex's modifications to the Zenith calibre creating a thinner profile than the later in-house movements would allow.
