The reference 16519 is a collectible and sought-after model due to its short 3-year production run starting in 1997 and ceasing in 2000, as Rolex updated the caliber to their own proprietary movement 4130. Manufactured in precious metal and offered with a plethora of dial options such as hardstones, and some furthered with diamond settings, the model is striking, heavy, and understated. The present lot is sleek and under-the-radar as it is crafted from 18k white gold, and features a subtle, ever so slightly pink Mother of Pearl dial with applied white gold Arabic numerals.
The Rolex 'Zenith' Daytona
As the moniker suggests, the 'Zenith' Daytona is coveted by watch collectors due to the special movement utilized by Rolex. Caliber 4030 found within the reference 16519 is a heavily modified automatic chronograph movement based on Zenith’s El Primero Caliber 4030. Over 200 modifications were completed on the El Primero based caliber in order to meet the exceptional standards of excellence from Rolex.
