SIGNED ROLEX, DAYTONA MODEL, REF. 16528, CASE NO. X661624, CIRCA 1991

Offered in excellent overall condition, the present reference 16528 is part of the rarest jewelry-set iterations of the Rolex Daytona chronograph. Crafted out of 18k gold, the timepiece participated in defying the idea that sport-watches were bound to be manufactured in steel.

Built with the now legendary Zenith ‘El Primero’ movement, Rolex’s first automatic movement, the chronograph is bestowed with a magnificent diamond-set dial with emeralds set in yellow gold chatons. The case displays magnificent proportions and sharp hallmarks to its back, indication that the timepiece has been carefully looked after throughout the years. Of paramount importance and adding to the collectability of the timepiece, the chronograph is offered full set, with all its accessories, ranging from its original Rolex punched Garantie, stamped and dated by the exclusive retailer Bucherer, to its fitted wooden period box and Rolex pouch.

Highly sought after and part of an Important European Collection, the present timepiece alludes to previous jewelry-set references of Rolex, such as the now iconic reference 6270, and epitomizes the savoir-faire of the Swiss manufacture.
