PRE-OWNED 40MM ROLEX DAYTONA ZENITH INVERTED 6 / REF. 16523 (1988-2000)

A highly collectible example of the Rolex Daytona Zenith era, this 1997 Rolex Cosmograph Daytona Ref. 16523 features the legendary Rolex Caliber 4030, based on the Zenith El Primero movement. Finished in classic Rolesor (stainless steel and 18K yellow gold), this example is fitted with a striking black dial featuring factory-style diamond hour markers and the sought-after “Inverted 6” on the 12-hour chronograph register—a detail prized by Daytona collectors. The Zenith-powered Daytonas were produced from 1988–2000 and remain among the most desirable modern vintage Rolex references.
