A Bi-Metal Rolex Daytona Watch, Stainless Steel & 18ct Yellow Gold on a Champagne Dial. This 1991 reference 16523 is from the highly sought-after Zenith-powered era, featuring a 40mm case, an iconic champagne dial, and contrasting black sub-dials. Crucially, this example features the desirable inverted six at the 6 o’clock sub-dial — a signature trait of early Zenith Daytonas and an increasingly important marker of collectability. Its steel-and-yellow-gold construction gives the watch a classic Daytona presence, complemented by the engraved tachymeter bezel and unmistakable Oyster aesthetics.
Powered by the revered automatic calibre 4030, this Daytona delivers reliable performance and smooth chronograph operation — a movement long celebrated for its role in redefining the model’s history. The watch remains in good condition for its age, showing honest signs of careful wear while retaining its crisp detailing and warm two-tone character.
Supplied with its original Rolex paperwork and presented in its original box and certified, this complete example further enhances its desirability. Supported by a 12-month WLC Warranty, it offers an excellent opportunity to acquire a historically significant early-dial Daytona, highly valued by collectors.
