Notes

The Rolex Daytona Zenith Porcelain Ref. 16520 is in a position of absolute privilege within the Daytona family, because it was the first automatic chronograph made by Rolex itself, which therefore replaces the manual winding models starting from 1988. This example boasts an amazing and rare porcelain dial and 5 writtens where the fifth one is a little bit far from the others and that’s why is nicknamed “floating”
