The watch was completely redesigned and was fitted with the new caliber 4030 based on the Zenith El Primero. Even if the 16520 was produced for only a dozen years, the model saw several developments, mainly consisting in the layout of the dial. In fact, five different changes have been identified. Includes box.

In fact, 5 different changes have been identified.&nbsp; This piece belongs to the fourth evolution that corresponds to watches produced between the end of 1993 and 1998. The 4th series&nbsp;is recognizable with the introduction of new, flatter and bolder font for the numerals in the subsidiary dial as well as the "straight 6" in the chronograph hour&nbsp;subsidiary dial.&nbsp;It is the final series using tritium as luminescent material. The subsidiary dials of this specimen have highly attractive Patrizzi tropical brown, further enhancing the desirability of this timepiece. Additionally, the case has been preserved in superior condition, with attractive proportions and even the original green sticker on the case.

The reference 6265 and 6263 exemplifies the evolution of the Rolex Daytona. Introduced in 1969, this reference retains the classic stainless steel tachymeter bezel, and is enhanced with screw-down pushers and crown as opposed to the earlier pump pushers seen in the reference 6239. This technology waterproofs the case alongside the screw-down case back. Inside, the 6265 is fitted with the famous caliber Valjoux 727, which was an evolution from the caliber 722-1 present on some 6239, 6241 and 6240. To further enhance its performance, Rolex replaced the balance to increase the precision by increasing vibrations from 18,000 to 21,000. This movement was eventually replaced by the automatic "Zenith" chronograph caliber 4030 in 1988.
