Rolex - Daytona - Gray Dial - 16523 - for Men - from the 2000s

Used Rolex Daytona 16523, complete set. This fantastic Rolex watch sports a gray dial.

This reference is better known as the Zenith Daytona: it takes its nickname from the fact that it is powered by the Zenith El Primero caliber.
It wasn't that long ago that Rolex still relied on third-party suppliers for some things. In particular the movements, which he then modified internally.

The dial of this Daytona 16523 features a stunning gold sunburst pattern with black registers and bright red "Daytona" lettering. All applied hour markers are crafted from 18K yellow gold to match the 18K yellow gold dial and hands.

This Rolex Daytona powered by Zenith features a 40mm stainless steel case with an 18K yellow gold bezel surrounding a gold dial on a Rolex 904L stainless steel and 18K yellow gold Oyster bracelet with a folding clasp.
Functions include hours, minutes, small seconds, 52-hour power reserve, COSC Swiss chronometer certification, 100-meter water resistance, and column-wheel chronograph. The watch also measures 12.3mm thick and 47.2mm from lug to lug.
