A legendary reference in modern watchmaking, the Rolex Cosmograph Daytona 16520, produced in 1995 and part of the W series, embodies the golden age of the Daytona. It marks a major milestone in the model's history, combining the iconic design of the steel Daytona with a top-of-the-line automatic movement.

This version features a black dial, an iconic configuration offering strong contrast and optimal legibility. The applied hour markers and hands maintain a consistent presentation, true to the sporty and functional aesthetic of the Daytona from the 1990s.

The steel Oyster case is topped with the engraved steel tachymeter bezel, a visual signature of the first automatic Daytonas. The overall design features balanced proportions that have become a benchmark for collectors.

The watch is powered by the Rolex calibre 4030, based on the famous Zenith El Primero, extensively modified and refined by Rolex. This automatic movement is renowned for its precision, robustness, and historical significance: it was the first automatic calibre ever used in a Daytona.
