1999 Rolex Daytona Ref. 16528
This 1999 Rolex Daytona Ref. 16528 is a true collector’s grail—offered in like new, unworn condition with all original paperwork and box. Cased in 18k yellow gold, this legendary chronograph stands out with its factory-set pavé diamond dial and striking emerald hour markers, exemplifying the bold creativity of late-1990s Rolex.
As one of the final Daytonas powered by the revered Zenith El Primero-based Caliber 4030, this watch marks the end of an era before Rolex’s transition to the in-house 4130 movement. The 40 mm case, matching yellow gold Oyster bracelet, and fold clasp remain untouched, with protective stickers still in place—this is a true “time capsule” piece.
What makes this Daytona extraordinary is its completeness: it comes with the original box, stamped warranty papers, booklets, and every piece of original documentation, making it an exceptionally rare full set. The factory pavé diamond dial with emerald indices is a showstopper, radiating both elegance and unmistakable ‘90s character. The watch’s historical significance, pristine condition, and unmatched provenance make it a once-in-a-lifetime acquisition for the serious collector.
