The present Rolex Cosmograph Daytona reference 16528, dating to 2000 and bearing an A-serial, is an exceptional and remarkably well-preserved example offered here as a complete full set. Executed in 18K yellow gold, this watch stands out for its outstanding originality and unpolished condition—attributes that are increasingly rare for Daytonas of this era. The case is unpolished and remains in superb overall condition, showing only minimal signs of wear consistent with careful use. Importantly, the original green Rolex sticker is still present on the caseback, a strong indicator of the watch’s preservation. The bezel is likewise in excellent condition and has never been polished, retaining crisp definition and sharp edges. The watch is fitted with its original champagne luminova dial, preserved in excellent condition, and paired with matching original hands. The harmonious tone of the dial and hands, combined with the warmth of the yellow-gold case, gives the watch a particularly elegant and cohesive appearance. At its heart beats the celebrated Rolex calibre 4030, based on the legendary Zenith El Primero chronograph movement—one of the most respected automatic chronograph calibres ever produced, extensively reworked by Rolex to meet its own exacting standards. The original yellow-gold Oyster bracelet shows no stretch whatsoever, an outstanding and highly desirable feature. The clasp bears the correct code U11, consistent with the production period. While no service history accompanies the watch, it is running correctly at the time of cataloguing. Delivered as a full set, this unpolished Daytona 16528 represents a rare opportunity to acquire a late-production El Primero-powered Daytona in exceptional, near-time-capsule condition, combining strong originality, minimal wear, and complete accessories—an ideal example for the discerning collector.
