Rolex Cosmograph Daytona 16520 White Dial

The Rolex Daytona 16520 is a revered reference among chronograph enthusiasts. Produced between 1988 and 2000, it was the first Daytona to feature an automatic movement—powered by the legendary Zenith El Primero, heavily modified by Rolex and designated Caliber 4030. This A-series model dates from the late production years and features the desirable white dial with contrasting sub-dials.

Its 40mm stainless steel case and Oyster bracelet offer the robust design expected from the Daytona line, while the engraved tachymeter bezel and screw-down pushers complete its racing pedigree. Collectors especially seek this reference for its transitional historical role and its discontinued movement, which adds mechanical significance to its enduring aesthetics.

This piece offers a timeless design, balanced proportions, and a legacy tied to the evolution of one of Rolex’s most celebrated models. A rare opportunity to own a true modern classic.
