Around 1988, Rolex decided to discontinue the now classic Daytona manual-wind model. They replaced it by a brand model that also featured a new automatic movement. At the time, Rolex was not producing an in-house automatic chronograph movement, so they decided to use the very reliable Zenith based movement Caliber 4030.
Watch is in very good condition, just after service, under 1 year Atelier Tempus warranty.Rolex Daytona Bicolor Ref. 16523, Diamond Dial, Zenith Movement, Amazing, collectors set
