The Rolex Cosmograph Daytona Ref. 116528 is a luxury chronograph crafted entirely in 18-carat yellow gold, designed to blend high performance with refined aesthetics. Introduced in 2000, it was among the first Daytona models to feature the in-house Rolex Caliber 4130, a self-winding chronograph movement fully developed and manufactured by Rolex.
Its 40 mm case, engraved tachymeter bezel, and solid gold Oyster bracelet give the watch a bold yet elegant presence. The dialavailable in a variety of versions (black, champagne, white, mother-of-pearl, etc.) offers a perfect balance of legibility and style. Hands and applied hour markers feature luminescent inserts for optimal visibility in low-light conditions.
The chronograph is operated via screw-down pushers, while the Triplock screw-down crown ensures water resistance up to 100 meters. The movement is known for its approx. 72-hour power reserve, technical robustness, and superior precision hallmarks of Rolex watchmaking.
This model has become a true icon among collectors, valued for its technical excellence, precious materials, and historical importance. The ref. 116528 is no longer in production, making it even more desirable on the secondary market.
