The present Rolex Cosmograph Daytona ref. 116528 from circa 2000 bearing a “P” serial belongs to one of the earliest batch of the new reference in the first year of production. Replacing its former ref. 16528, the new model features gold registers instead of the previous black registers. Upgraded with Rolex’s first in-house cal. 4130, it replaced the Zenith El Primero based cal. 4030.
Early examples for the Rolex Cosmograph Daytona ref. 116528 are garnering more interest in the market today with “P” serial examples commanding a slight premium over others. The present example is presented in excellent overall condition and is accompanied by the full set of accessories with a guarantee stamped by a Macanese retailer.
Founded in 1905 England by Hans Wilsdorf and Alfred Davis as Wilsdorf & Davis, it soon became known as the Rolex Watch Company in 1915, moving its headquarters to Geneva in 1919. Like no other company, the success of the wristwatch can be attributed to many of Rolex's innovations that made them one of the most respected and well-known of all luxury brands. These innovations include their famous "Oyster" case — the world's first water resistant and dustproof watch case, invented in 1926 — and their "Perpetual" — the first reliable self-winding movement for wristwatches launched in 1933. They would form the foundation for Rolex's Datejust and Day-Date, respectively introduced in 1945 and 1956, but also importantly for their sports watches, such as the Explorer, Submariner and GMT-Master launched in the mid-1950s.
One of its most famous models is the Cosmograph Daytona. Launched in 1963, these chronographs are without any doubt amongst the most iconic and coveted of all collectible wristwatches. Other key collectible models include their most complicated vintage watches, including references 8171 and 6062 with triple calendar and moon phase, "Jean Claude Killy" triple date chronograph models and the Submariner, including early "big-crown" models and military-issued variants.
