Reference 116520 Released in 2000, the Rolex Daytona reference 116520 was produced for a lengthy 16 years. It highly resembled its predecessor reference 16520 but has some significant upgrades. The brand utilized their first in-house chronograph movement Rolex caliber 4130. It replaced the beloved Zenith-based caliber 4030, and the new movement can be quickly identified with the seconds register located at 6 o’clock opposed to 9 o'clock. Caliber 4130 was much superior than the 4030 as it had over 60% less parts, allowing greater reliability and easier serviceability while also increasing the power reserve from 54 hours to an impressive 72 hours.
