About This Watch...

The 16523 is the Rolesor (steel and yellow gold) Daytona from the “Zenith” era, when Rolex used a heavily modified Zenith El Primero movement, its calibre 4030.

Zenith-era Daytonas have a following among collectors, and dial details matter, so a clear photo of the dial helps us price yours accurately.

What helps us price yours

  • Model and reference

    The reference pins down the exact watch: dial, bezel and metal.
