This Rolex Daytona Ref. 16520 is an extremely rare and historically significant piece, gifted by Rolex to Kelly Collins, the winner of the prestigious Daytona 24 Hours race. The case back is specially engraved with the race logo, Collins’ name, and the year, making it a one-of-a-kind collector’s item. Powered by the Calibre 4030, based on the Zenith El Primero, this Daytona represents one of the last generations before Rolex introduced its in-house movement. Issued in 1997 and officially signed by Rolex USA in February 1999, this timepiece comes complete with its original box and papers, further solidifying its provenance and historical importance. A unique and highly collectible Daytona, this watch is a tribute to motorsport history and Rolex’s long-standing connection to the Daytona 24H endurance race.
