Rolex Daytona 16523 – Zenith Era Two-Tone (White Dial)

There’s something endlessly cool about the Zenith-era Daytona. It sits right at that turning point in Rolex history — when the brand brought automatic reliability to its most famous chronograph but still kept all the vintage charm. You can feel the connection between generations when you wear one.

The white dial with gold subdials gives this reference a clean, balanced look. It’s crisp, bright, and plays beautifully with the warmth of the two-tone case — sporty, elegant, and unmistakably from an era when Rolex design just got it right.

This example dates to around 1993 (S932XXX) and presents beautifully throughout. The case remains strong, the bracelet has only light wear with minimal stretch, and the dial is clean and original — everything you’d hope for from a well-kept Zenith Daytona.

For me, this era of Daytona still represents the sweet spot in collecting. It’s mechanically interesting, perfectly sized, and carries real substance without the hype. Once you’ve owned one, it’s hard to let go.

Available for private viewing at the Calibre Club Lounge – Canary Wharf.
