Accompanied by a Rolex Official Chronometer Certificate dated August 21st, 1999, Rolex presentation box, tie tag, product literature, and outer packaging.
Launched in 1988, the 16500 series comprised the first automatic chronographs to be introduced by Rolex, marking an end to the production of hand-wound Daytona models. The series initially used a modified Zenith El Primero movement, which was later replaced by the 4030 caliber developed in-house by Rolex. This new movement was itself based on Zenith's caliber 400 and contained about 200 modifications.
The present watch features the caliber 4030, and is one of the earliest examples, with an A-series case number.
