The 116520 is the first Daytona to wear a wholly Rolex-built chronograph movement. It launched at Baselworld 2000 with caliber 4130, ran for sixteen years before the ceramic-bezel 116500LN took its place in 2016, and closes the long arc that began with steel tachymetre bezels on the manual-wind 6263 and ran through the Zenith-driven 16520. Everything that powers a current Daytona — vertical clutch, column wheel, 72-hour reserve — was put on the wrist here first.
