An outstanding example of the automatic Rolex Daytona, the reference 16568 represents the golden era of the Zenith movement. Besides being the last reference, such as the reference 16520s, to be fitted with an outsourced movement, which has been proven to be extremely collectable amongst watch enthusiasts, the reference 16568 is further adorned with a baguette diamond bezel and a pavé -set diamond and emerald dial which was very uncommon for Rolex at the time. Featuring both exquisite gem-setting and an iconic movement, the present watch kept in very good condition over the years, still retains its original green factory sticker and the case with thick and sharp lugs and very good proportions.
