The Rolex Daytona reference 16523 is a 40mm timepiece in Steel and Yellow Gold presented in used condition, with a Champagne Standard dial, Standard YG bezel, Oyster bracelet, dated circa 1997. Supplied with its original papers. Every watch is inspected and authenticated by our specialists before it is offered, so you can buy with confidence.
Every Daytona in current production measures 40mm, a dimension fixed since 1988. The model's appeal rests on its in-house column-wheel chronograph, screw-down pushers, tachymeter bezel, and three-register layout. Value moves with metal, climbing from Rolesor two-tone through full yellow and white gold to heavily gem-set pieces, with retail spanning $21,362 to $106,950. When buying, prioritize honest dial condition and complete box and papers, which we verify. Read the full Daytona buying guide ›
Few names carry the recognition of Rolex, the benchmark by which most mechanical watches are measured. Established in 1905 by Hans Wilsdorf, the Geneva manufacture earned its standing through waterproofing, self-winding movements, and date displays. When a reference reaches us, we authenticate the Oyster case and Perpetual movement before it goes on sale. Demand outpaces supply here, and steel sports models routinely command premiums on the secondary market. Browse all Rolex ›
