This classic Rolex timepiece, reference 16520 with the red Daytona logo, has a black dial with applied indexes, stopwatch and a 30-minute and 12-hour counter; the watch is fitted with the legendary Zenith-based calibre 4030, and is called "Zenith Daytona". The bezel has an engraved tachy scale for direct reading of speed per hour.
It goes without saying that this attractive timepiece has been worn on a regular basis. Age-appropriate signs of wear are proof that the case remains unpolished and is in original condition. The steel "Oyster" bracelet is in marvellous condition, serial and reference marks are perfect.
