Description:

The Rolex Cosmograph Daytona 116520 is one of the most iconic and sought-after modern chronographs from Rolex. Introduced in 2000, it marked a significant milestone as the first Daytona to feature Rolex’s in-house chronograph movement, the Caliber 4130, replacing the Zenith El Primero–based caliber used in the previous model.

Crafted entirely from 904L stainless steel, the 116520 features screw-down chronograph pushers and a tachymeter-engraved bezel designed for incredibly accurate lap timekeeping. The black dial, with its contrasting silver subdials, offers a sleek and timeless aesthetic that effortlessly balances sportiness with sophistication.

Renowned for its precision, durability, and modern yet classic styling, this Daytona stands as a symbol of Rolex’s transition into full mechanical independence and remains a cornerstone of the Daytona lineage.
