Description
Discontinued in 1999, this 1998 watch is one of the last Rolex 16523 ‘Zenith’ Daytona made and has one of the very last Tritium ‘Swiss Made’ dials which were discontinued that year. It has a stainless steel and 18ct yellow gold case and bracelet.
The case on this watch is superb and the engraving on the bezel is strong, clear and crisp. There is only minimal wear to the bracelet and clasp and all together the watch is a lovely example of a classic Bi-Metal Zenith Daytona.
Complete with original large green outer and wooden inner boxes, the outer has the “16523” sticker intact. The papers are included as well as the YRO and translation books and the tags and a Rolex wallet.
It has just been tested by Rolex certified watch specialists Michlmayr & Co and it is running smooth and strong. It is supplied with a 12 month warranty.
Available only with a manual wind movement until 1988, Rolex finally got around the fact that they didn’t have their own automatic chronograph movement by utilising a heavily modified version of the famous Zenith El Primero. It was with this model that Rolex also introduced their first Bi-Metal Daytona, the 16523
