RolexDaytona

Offered by an established UK-based dealer, this Rolex Daytona ref. 16519 is presented with a Rolex Service Centre guarantee card dated 10 February 2022 and a bezel protector. The watch is paired with a factory alligator strap and white gold deployant clasp. Protective stickers on the case back and flanks from the recent service are in place, and the condition appears within the bounds of the vendor’s ‘A’ grading.

Popularly known now as the “Zenith Daytona”, this generation marked a major milestone in the model line's history. It was the first self-winding Daytona reference, and Rolex turned to the Zenith El Primero Calibre 400 - widely considered the best self-winding chronograph movement available on the market at the time. 

The instantly recognisable case silhouette measures 40mm in diameter and is crafted from 18K white gold, offering a level of understated luxury and plenty of heft. A fixed bezel displays an engraved tachymeter scale as a nod to the model’s motorsport heritage. The lacquered white dial features silver sub-dials to display the chronograph and running seconds. On this precious metal example, large white gold Arabic numerals mark the hours.
