Rolex Daytona 16520 Zenith Full Set – 1999 Black Tritinova Dial
The Daytona 16520 is the reference that forged the modern Daytona myth. This steel chronograph, sold in Switzerland in April 1999, features the rare "Tritinova" specification — a tritium marking combined with Luminova luminescence — making it a particularly sought-after piece by collectors. Its 40mm case and Oyster bracelet with alternating polished and brushed links offer a strong presence on the wrist, while the black dial with its subdials and tachymeter scale ensures immediate readability. Powered by the Caliber 4030, derived from the Zenith El Primero and reworked by Rolex, this watch benefits from proven reliability and a 52-hour power reserve. Fully serviced in 2025 after an initial Rolex service in 2006, it is offered as a full original set with box and papers. All elements — dial, hands, bracelet, and bezel — are original and from the period, an essential criterion for collectors and watch investment enthusiasts. Authenticated and guaranteed by L'Écrin Genève.
