Specialist note
The present timepiece is an attractive and very well-preserved representive of the Daytona reference 16528.
Launched in 1988, the reference 16500 series comprised the first automatic chronographs to be introduced by Rolex, marking an end to the production of hand-wound Daytona models. The series initially used a modified Zenith El Primero movement, which was later replaced by the 4130 calibre developed in-house by Rolex. This new movement was itself based on Zenith's calibre 400 and contained about 200 modifications.
