Pre-Owned Rolex Oyster Perpetual Superlative Chronometer Cosmograph Daytona 16528 A-series

A true icon among chronographs, this Rolex Oyster Perpetual Cosmograph Daytona Reference 16528, A-series c.1999 represents the pinnacle of motorsport-inspired luxury and precision. Crafted from solid 18k yellow gold, this 40mm timepiece exudes richness and bold elegance, complemented by a matching yellow gold Oyster bracelet that balances robust construction with refined sophistication. The deep black dial, accented by gold subdials and luminous hour markers, delivers maximum contrast and legibility, capturing the spirit of high-performance racing in timeless style.

Powering this model is the legendary Zenith-based El Primero movement—a celebrated automatic chronograph caliber that marked an important era in Daytona history before Rolex transitioned to its in-house 4130. Known for its reliability and smooth operation, this movement makes the A-series Daytona especially desirable among collectors. As part of the final production years before the in-house transition, the A-series holds a special place in the lineage of this iconic reference.

Presented in great pre-owned condition with only minimal signs of wear, this piece includes the original Rolex papers—adding to its value and authenticity—though the original box is not included. A rare opportunity to own a piece of horological history, this yellow gold Zenith-era Daytona is as coveted for its performance as it is for its lasting legacy and unmistakable presence.
