Lot Essay

This endangered species strap is shown for display purposes only and is not for sale. The watch will be supplied with a calf leather strap.

The present Daytona ref. 16518 is offered with all its accessories and still retains the original green reference sticker to the case back.

The Daytona models belonging to the reference family starting with 165 were made in steel (16520), steel and gold (16523), white gold (16519), and yellow gold (16518, like the present example, and 16528). The first Daytona chronograph with an automatic movement is powered by a Zenith El Primero caliber that underwent more than 200 modifications to reach the firm's rigorous production standards.
