Rolex Daytona Cosmograph Gold & Steel ref. 16523 Diamond indices Serviced & Polished, Zenith movement, X-Serial

The Rolex Daytona is widely regarded as an icon in the world of luxury watches, and it’s not at all difficult to see why. It offers a timeless design backed by superb underlying functionality that traces its roots to a vibrant and exciting racing heritage. What’s more, the state of the grey market indicates you couldn’t sell your Daytona at a loss even if you wanted to, so you could always tell your wife it was an investment.
The particular ref. 16523 on offer here sports a lustrous golden dial adorned with diamond hour markers and contrasting subdials. The case and bracelet combine steel and gold elements, which underlines its affluent demeanour yet manages to preserve its sporty aesthetic. On the wrist, the watch is unmistakably recognizable as Rolex’s renowned chronograph since it follows the design of its iconic predecessors to the letter, including the red Daytona script – a reference to the “Big Red” Daytona of 1985.
It should be noted that this reference is powered by a modification of Zenith’s El Primero and not Rolex’s later in-house movement.
Our offering is in excellent condition – just serviced and polished per OEM specs. Comes as watch only.

The watch is covered by 1 year of limited warranty from ChronoTimepieces.
