Notes

from 2006, booklets, Rolex 24 cap, photo with autograph and attestation letter from the original owner Mister Christophe Bouchut *This watch was presented to Christophe Bouchut after his victory in the '24 Hours of Daytona' race. What really sets this watch apart is the engraving "WINNER Rolex 24 at Daytona 1995" on the back of the case. The "24 Hours of Daytona" car race is one of the most challenging car competitions in the world. Each year, teams of world-class drivers travel to Daytona Beach, Florida to participate in the 24-hours endurance race. The "24 Hours of Daytona" were inaugurated in the 1960s when the mythical race had already existed on the city's beaches since 1903. But it was only in 1991 that Rolex became the official sponsor of the race. The manufacturer decided to offer to the members of the winning team a Daytona wristwatch engraved with their names and the date of victory. Reference 16520 is also a very innovative Rolex model, as it houses the emblematic 4030 Zenith calibre mechanism, nearly 50% modified by Rolex. This timepiece pays tribute to the very first automatic chronograph movement and represents a major step in the history of the Manufacture; 12 years after the launch of this calibre Rolex presented its first in-house chronograph ! This watch represents two very important symbols in the history of Rolex: motorsport and the Daytona brand name which took over from its previous name: the Cosmograph . Accompanied by its original warranty and documentation, this watch represents Rolex's unwavering support for motorsports and its commitment to the racing industry. *La course automobile "24 heures de Daytona" est l'une des compétitions automobiles les plus difficiles au monde. Chaque année, des équipes de pilotes de classe mondiale se rendent à Daytona Beach, en Floride, pour participer à la course d'endurance de 24 heures. Les "24 Heures de Daytona" ont été inaugurées dans les années 1960 alors que la course mythique existait déjà sur les plages de la ville depuis 1903. Mais ce n'est qu'en 1991 que Rolex est devenu le sponsor officiel de la course. Le fabricant a décidé d'offrir aux membres de l'équipe gagnante une montre-bracelet Daytona gravée de leur nom et de la date de la victoire. La référence 16520 est également un modèle Rolex très innovant, puisqu'elle abrite l'emblématique calibre Zenith 4030, modifié à près de 50% par Rolex. Ce garde-temps rend hommage au tout premier mouvement chronographe automatique et représente une étape majeure dans l'histoire de la Manufacture ; 12 ans après le lancement de ce calibre, Rolex a présenté son premier chronographe maison ! Cette montre représente deux symboles très importants dans l'histoire de Rolex : le sport automobile et la marque Daytona.
