Rolex Cosmograph Daytona 16518 Description

Reference 16518 is the 18k yellow gold model from the “Zenith” Daytona generation designed specifically for a strap, produced from 1991 to 2000. It is powered by the Caliber 4030. The 18 configuration code specifies a model with a solid 18k yellow gold case and bezel, delivered on a leather strap with a gold deployant clasp. Its significance lies in offering a different, arguably more formal or classic, aesthetic for the first automatic gold Daytona, separating it from the sportier full-gold bracelet model (16528).
