Reference 16520 occupies a unique place in the Daytona lineage, representing the era when Rolex relied on the Zenith-sourced automatic caliber to power its flagship chronograph. This A-series example, dated to approximately 1999, would have been produced in the final period before Rolex transitioned to a different movement in 2000, making it a noteworthy example for collectors drawn to this generation of the model.
The 40 mm round stainless steel case features a fixed bezel, screw-down crown, and scratch-resistant sapphire crystal. The white dial is fitted with luminescent index hour markers and luminescent hands, offering chronograph functions including hours, minutes, and seconds. A stainless steel bracelet with fold clasp completes the configuration.
This watch is offered in used, pristine condition and comes accompanied by its original Rolex box and original Rolex papers.
