	The 116528 is the full yellow gold Daytona of the in-house era: the cal 4130 successor to the Zenith-based 16528, on a solid 18k yellow gold Oyster bracelet. Produced from 2000 to 2016, it ran alongside the steel 116520 and the Rolesor 116523 as the gold-bracelet flagship of Rolex's first in-house chronograph generation. Mechanically it is the 116520: same 40mm case profile, same vertical-clutch column-wheel cal 4130, same 72-hour reserve. What changes is the metal, 18k yellow gold from bezel to bracelet end link.

	Clapton's example aside, nothing in the 116528 record approaches the single-artifact provenance that defines Paul Newman's 6239 or the Unicorn 6265.
