Reference 116528 belongs to the esteemed Rolex Daytona collection, a series of chronograph wristwatches first introduced in 1963 and originally designed for professional racing drivers. Named after the iconic Daytona International Speedway in Florida, the collection has become one of the most celebrated in Rolex’s history.
Launched in the early 2000s, the reference 116528 marked a luxurious evolution of the model, crafted in solid 18k yellow gold and offered with a range of distinctive dial variations, adding a refined touch to the sporty chronograph.
At its heart is the Rolex caliber 4130, an in-house, self-winding chronograph movement known for its robustness, precision, and resistance to shocks and magnetic fields. Developed entirely by Rolex, the 4130 features a streamlined architecture that enhances reliability and optimizes performance.
