The Zenith Daytona
The reference 16518 is one of the most historically significant versions of the Cosmograph Daytona. It belongs to the generation of Daytona watches powered by Rolex's Calibre 4030, based on the Zenith El Primero movement. The 40mm yellow gold case, engraved gold tachymetric bezel and leather strap give this model a particularly distinctive character. 
 
Mother-of-Pearl Dial
Mother-of-pearl is a natural material, meaning each dial has its own subtle variations in colour, texture and iridescence. This gives the watch a unique appearance, with the dial changing character as it catches the light.
