Rolex released the Daytona ref. 116523 in 2000 as part of the new-generation Daytona collection equipped with the new in-house Caliber 4130 automatic movement. Prior to that year, Daytona watches ran on caliber 4030, which was a modified Zenith El Primero automatic movement.
Very similar to the Vintage Paul Newman “Panda” persona, but with a silvered dial and red accents toward the subsidiary dials provides this watch a strong modern and athletic flair, that is uncommon among other Daytona in the market today.
