Now available, a Rolex Cosmograph Daytona ref. 16519 - one of the most charismatic expressions of the Zenith-era Daytonas, elevated here by a glossy black diamond dial that feels both quietly opulent and unmistakably late-’90s.

This U-serial example is dated 1999 and represents everything collectors love about the Zenith generation: slimmer case proportions, the revered El Primero–based calibre inside, and a level of charm that modern Daytonas simply don’t replicate. The white gold case paired with the factory diamond dial creates a subtle contrast - precious without shouting, and effortlessly wearable on the black leather strap.

Even better, this piece comes fully complete with its original box and stamped paperwork, retailed by Bucherer - exactly the sort of provenance that matters when you’re reminder shopping for a serious Daytona.

A properly special configuration, from an era that continues to define the Cosmograph’s collectability - and one that feels every bit as good on the wrist as it does in a safe. Available for viewing in London and purchase worldwide. Please get in touch for further information.
