Rolex 4030
Self-winding chronograph built from the Zenith El Primero 400. Rolex replaced or altered over half the parts (some 200 modifications), removed the date, fitted a larger free-sprung balance and slowed it from 36,000 to 28,800 vph, then submitted it for certification. Used in the 16520 family until 2000.
