Rolex released the Daytona ref. 116523 in 2000 as part of the new-generation Daytona collection equipped with the new in-house Caliber 4130 automatic movement. Prior to that year, Daytona watches ran on caliber 4030, which was a modified Zenith El Primero automatic movement.
This 40mm Oyster case, screw down chronograph pusher and screw-down winding crown, is in great condition. It features a mixture of stainless steel and 18k yellow gold on the bracelet and an 18k yellow gold bezel with black dial face.
This Daytona is unique as it is prior to having “ROLEX ROLEX ROLEX” engraved on the rehaut. This was added in the mid-2000’s to Rolex watches.
