Specialist note
Offered in very good overall condition, the present reference 16528 is part of the rarest jewelry-set iterations of the Rolex Daytona chronograph. Crafted out of 18k gold, the timepiece participated in defying the idea that sport-watches were bound to be manufactured in steel.
Built with the now legendary Zenith ‘El Primero’ movement, Rolex’s first automatic movement, the chronograph is bestowed with a magnificent diamond and ruby-set dial. The case displays great proportions and sharp hallmarks to its back, indication that the timepiece has been carefully looked after throughout the years.
Highly sought after, the present timepiece alludes to previous jewelry-set references of Rolex, such as the now iconic reference 6270, and epitomizes the savoir-faire of the Swiss manufacture.
