One of the most famous and iconic Rolex models is the Cosmograph Daytona. In 1963, Rolex launched the first Cosmograph model, which marked the beginning of a must-have among collectors.
In 1988, to celebrate the Daytona's 25th anniversary, Rolex launched the reference 16520 in stainless steel, together with the reference 16523 in two-tone steel and gold, plus the reference 16528 in yellow gold. By increasing the case size from 37.5 mm to 40.0 mm, the all-new Daytona collection served as a link to the modern era, for the first time materially transformed into something different from its predecessor. As the first 'perpetual' (a term Rolex likes to attribute to automatic winding) automatic movement in the Daytona family, the calibre 4030 in the 16520 is based on Zenith's El Primero 400 movement. Requiring around four years of research and development, Rolex made a significant adaptation by replacing more than half of the parts to improve the performance of this 'engine'
