Specialist note

Rare and coveted by collectors, this early reference 16528 automatic Daytona in gold, is particularly desirable for its so called “staccato” or “floating” Cosmograph dial. This example is further distinguished by its early bezel calibrated for 200 units per hour, as opposed to the later one calibrated for 400 units per hour.
