The Daytona comes up a lot on this channel, and for obvious reasons: it’s one of the best-known watches ever made, from perhaps the best-known watchmaker in the world. It’s also the last Rolex to ever use a movement that hails from outside of the Rolex family—the calibre 4030, based on Zenith’s El Primero 400. That was in the Daytona 16520, the model that gave us this new, sleek and oh-so popular shape. 1988 it came out, and it’s become very collectible since Rolex discontinued the calibre 4030 in favour of the in-house 4130. Why then, should you want one when you can quite simply walk into a shop now and buy an El Primero straight from Zenith for a fraction of the price?
