Provenance
The reference 16528 Cosmograph is known among collectors as the "Zenith Daytona" due to its internal automatic chronograph mechanism that is based on the world-famous high beat Zenith El Primero movement.This particular, early example has an inverted six on the bottom sub dial, which means it appears as a nine.A line of text is 'floating' when it appears to be detached from other text, such as the Rolex signature, at 12 o'clock, as is the word 'Cosmograph' on this particular example.
