"El Primero equipped 165 series Daytona Cal.4030"

This movement is based on Zenith's El Primero automatic chronograph movement, but has been reduced in frequency from 36,000 vibrations per hour to 28,800 vibrations per hour and has been improved in terms of durability, etc.

Produced from the R series (around 1988) to the P series (around 2000),
This was the last Rolex chronograph model to feature a third-party movement.
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.

This model is hard to gauge because it is not widely available, but
Currently, the market price does not seem to be too high and is 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.

The number of solid gold models is small,
It is rare to find an early model with this single buckle.

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

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

Commonly known as the "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 strong edge lines.
The hairline is beautiful.

It is very difficult to find an early solid gold piece with this kind of lug shape.

The breath condition is also outstandingly good,
There is no wrinkles whatsoever!!

※This is a full frame.

Overall, this is a high-quality item that I would recommend to those who value individual items.

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

Solid Gold El Primero Daytona Reverse 6 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.
