"165 Series Daytona Cal. 4030 with El Primero"

This movement is based on Zenith's El Primero automatic chronograph movement, and has been reduced in frequency from 36,000 vibrations per hour to 28,800 vibrations per hour, improving durability and other aspects.

It was produced from the R series (around 1988) to the P series (around 2000).
This is the last chronograph model from Rolex to feature a movement from another manufacturer.
If you think about it, it's a very rare model.

The model we are introducing this time is the solid gold model "Ref. 16528" with a champagne dial.

The solid K18YG Daytona is a model that is less common than the stainless steel model.

Because it is a model that is not widely available, it is difficult to read the market price.
Currently, the market price is not too high and seems to be stable.

This particular watch has a crisp bezel and case in excellent condition.
This is a fine specimen with well-defined edge lines.

The buckle is rare! This is an early model with a single buckle.

Although there are only a few solid gold models,
It is rare to find an early model with this single buckle.

The early protruding belly buckle with the crown mark is an attractive buckle with an old-fashioned feel.
The atmosphere is outstanding and cool!!

This particular watch comes with an attractive early dial (MK4).

Commonly known as "reverse 6 dial"
This is an early production dial in which the "6" on the 12-hour counter at the 6 o'clock position is an upside-down "9."

The luminous material is all tritium.

The hands are in good condition, including the luminous material.
The dial is also in good condition.

The condition is good, there are some small scratches on the case and bracelet,
It's in pretty good condition!!

The middle case is in excellent condition and retains its original shape!

Check it out!!

The lug feet are thick with well-defined edge lines.
The hairline is beautiful.

It is rare to find an early solid gold example with this kind of lug shape.

The breath condition is also outstandingly good,
There is absolutely no crease!!

*This is a full frame.

Overall, this is a great product that I would recommend to anyone who values ​​individuality.

Finally, a wrist shot!!
The champagne dial is so cool.
I can't get enough of this retro look!!

Solid Gold El Primero Daytona with Inverted 6-Piece Champagne Dial "Ref. 16528"
This is a highly recommended specimen in excellent overall condition!
The early single buckle model has a vintage feel and is really cool!!
This product was overhauled at our affiliated workshop in August 2023.
It is predicted that such excellent specimens will become even less available in the future,
If you are looking for a 5-digit solid gold Daytona,
please consider this one.
