Rolex 4130 Description

The Rolex 4130 is the first fully in-house, integrated automatic chronograph by Rolex, introduced in 2000 to power the Cosmograph Daytona. It features a column wheel with a vertical clutch for a precise start/stop, and a simplified mechanism for enhanced reliability. With a 72-hour power reserve and a Parachrom hairspring, it set a new benchmark for modern chronograph movements and served for 23 years.
