Comment: Rare and coveted by collectors, this version of the automatic Daytona reference 16528 in gold is sought after for its "floating Cosmograph" dial. This example is further distinguished by its dial with the "Inverted 6" figure in the hour counter, its first bezel calibrated at 200 units per hour, as opposed to the later version calibrated at 400 units per hour. A rare example with sought-after variants that in many ways is unique.
