Matthew's Notes
This is a wonderful example of the highly coveted 5-digit reference Rolex Cosmograph Daytona reference 16528. Produced during the revered "Zenith Era" (1988–2000), this timepiece represents a monumental chapter in Rolex history, blending neo-vintage charm with robust everyday wearability. At its heart beats the legendary Caliber 4030 automatic movement—a modified Zenith El Primero high-beat caliber refined to Rolex’s rigorous chronometer standards. This generation marks Rolex’s very first automatic chronograph, making it a cornerstone anchor for any serious watch portfolio. The solid 18kt yellow gold case is strong and still retains all its hallmarks. The crisp white dial is pristine with all original lume throughout. The watch comes on its original Rolex heavy Oyster bracelet with flip lock clasp.
