AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Pre-owned Rolex Daytona 16520. This amazing Rolex watch sports a black dial.
This reference better known as the Zenith Daytona: it takes its nickname from the fact that it’s powered by a Zenith El Primero calibre.
It wasn’t that long ago that Rolex still relied on 3rd-party suppliers for certain things. Particularly movements, which it then modified in-house.
In fact, extensive modifications were undertaken to align the new movement with Rolex’s requirements. Estimates put it at around 200 changes in total. With the resulting movement retaining a mere 50% of the Zenith caliber 400’s parts.
These changes focused on increasing reliability and minimizing the need for maintenance.
