Rolex
Daytona
Ref. 16520


EUR 25.900,-

Rolex Daytona Reference 16520 with papers from 1997, white dial, in very good condition. The Rolex Daytona Ref. 16520 is considered a milestone in the model’s history: it was the first Daytona to feature an automatic movement, powered by the legendary Zenith El Primero Caliber 4030, specially modified by Rolex. The classic 40 mm stainless steel case with brushed lugs, the white dial with high-contrast subdials, and the relatively low production numbers make this reference a highly sought-after collector’s piece with historical significance.

The Racers Watch

Cosmograph Daytona

The Rolex Chronograph, called Cosmograph Daytona, is the ultimate functional watch for racing and speed enthusiasts. Introduced in 1963, the Cosmograph was designed to meet the needs of professional racing drivers. It takes its name from the famous high-speed circuit Daytona Beach.

Legendary Waterproofness

Oyster Case

The Oyster case is a milestone in the history of watchmaking. Invented by Rolex in 1926, it was the world's first waterproof watch case. Bezel, caseback and winding crown are screwed watertight to the middle section. Form and function are perfectly matched - typically Rolex.

The robust legend

Oyster Bracelet

Introduced at the end of the 1930s, the metal bracelet is particularly robust and still the most popular bracelet from Rolex. It belongs to the standard equipment of all professional (sport) models, but is also used in some classic models.

In the right time

The return of the 80s

Everything comes back. At some point. Even my grandmother knew that and the more mature you become, the more you realise: damn, it really is like that. When Rolex presented the GMT-Master II as a yellow gold and bicolour version on a Jubilé bracelet last year, I immediately felt something like my own personal Werthers Echte moment. Only not with gold-wrapped caramel sweets, but with the watches I knew from my childhood. And so I still remember, as if it were yesterday, the picture of TV legend Horst Tappert smiling at me from the cover of a TV magazine with a gold GMT on a Jubilee bracelet.

How deep is deep?

When I started wearing watches at a young age, everything was quite simple for me. If the words “Water Resistant” were written on the back cover, you had to be careful. On the other hand, if it said “30M”, everything was fine. Off to the beach with it and have fun. I wore those watches in the sea for years without a care in the world - for swimming, showering and bathing anyway.
