Catalogue note
The 16523 is the Daytona that carried the Zenith El Primero movement before Rolex built its own, and the two-tone case with a black dial is the dressiest the reference gets.
Condition
Very good
Light wear to the gold bezel and pushers; case unpolished with sharp edges. Dial and hands original. Bracelet with slight stretch, all links present.
Service: Serviced 2023, service receipt in the lot
