The Rolex Daytona 16518 is a notable model from the Zenith-era Daytonas, which have experienced a significant rise in popularity among collectors in recent years. These watches mark an important chapter in Rolex’s history, being the brand’s first self-winding chronographs and the first Daytona to feature a 40mm case size.
The watch also features a stunning mother of pearl (MOP) dial, complete with applied gold Arabic numerals. These dials are known for their iridescence, especially when exposed to sunlight, enhancing the watch's aesthetic appeal.
The Rolex Daytona 16518 not only holds historical significance due to its Zenith movement but also delivers elegance and versatility, making it a favourite among collectors and enthusiasts alike. This Daytona is a U-serial which dates it to 1997.
