The Rolex 16520 Daytona Watch
Production Years:
The Rolex Daytona 16520 was first launched in 1988 and was eventually discontinued in 2000.
Defining Features:
The Zenith El Primero movement is the defining feature of the Daytona 16520, representing a unique moment in the history of the watchmaker. This model comes with a stainless steel case and bracelet, with the popular 40mm case size.
The signature tachymetric bezel made for measuring speed is also an important element because this sporting watch was built to meet the needs of professional race car drivers. The watch also has a gorgeous aesthetic with a black dial and sub-dials for timekeeping. If you’re a fan of Daytona watches, you can own this piece of Rolex history and have a Daytona Zenith of your own.
About Rolex Model Number 16520
The Rolex Daytona 16520 marks a unique time in the history of the beloved Daytona collection. The period from 1988 and 2000 saw the Daytonas equipped with a Zenith El Primero movement, leading these Rolexes to be referred to as Daytona Zeniths.
Though Rolex would eventually start equipping Daytonas with their own in-house movements, those who are interested in Rolex’s history should definitely consider adding the 16520 to their collection. The Rolex Daytona Zenith is only growing in popularity over time as this unique piece of Rolex history becomes increasingly rare. It’s also a historic part of the history of Zenith, as Rolex made hundreds of modifications to the movement before putting it in their watches.
