The Reference 16528
Produced from 1988 until 2000, the Rolex Daytona reference 16528 belongs to the celebrated first generation of automatic Daytonas powered by the famed Zenith-based caliber 4030, a movement that ushered the model into a new era of performance and collectability. Crafted in 18k yellow gold, the reference perfectly combines the sporty charisma of the Cosmograph Daytona with the opulence of precious metal construction. The present example is particularly attractive, featuring an unpolished case together with its original matching champagne dial set with diamond hour markers, a luxurious and highly charismatic configuration that elevates this already iconic “Zenith” Daytona into an especially desirable collector’s piece.
