CHRONONATION SKU RX3176-02


The Rolex Daytona 16520 is one of the most sought-after vintage models in the Daytona lineup, notably powered by the legendary Zenith El Primero-based movement. Produced between 1988 and 2000, it represents the first automatic Daytona generation and a turning point in Rolex’s chronograph history.

This particular model features a classic black dial with luminous hour markers and subdials, protected by a sapphire crystal. The robust stainless steel 40mm case and iconic Oyster bracelet provide both durability and comfort, while the engraved tachymeter bezel enhances its racing heritage.

With its early A-series serial, this piece sits near the end of the Zenith era and is in excellent condition. Backed by a 2-year Chrononation warranty, it’s a must-have for serious collectors and vintage Rolex enthusiasts.
