Rolex Daytona 116520

Up for sale is this amazing Rolex Daytona reference 116520. The Rolex Daytona 116520 was introduced in 2000 at the BaselWorld Fair. This watch represented the first completely new in-house movement that Rolex had designed in more than 50 years: the fully-integrated self-winding chronograph function called the Caliber 4130. The innovative clutch design of the 4130 provided something greatly desired in chronograph watches: accurate stops and starts of the seconds hand. As a result, the Daytona is the ideal “stopwatch” for timing delicate activities, such as racing.

The movement is working perfectly, recently checked by my jeweler. The dial is in pristine condition, it features a white color contrasts the beauty of the steel in this watch. The bracelet is firm, should fit up to a 7.5 inch wrist. The case is in excellent condition, it still has some stickers in the back. The bezel has some little scratches, almost unnoticeable, truly outstanding in person.

In comparison to the previous reference, this watch has wider and bright hour markers, somewhat longer lugs, and polishing on the top side of the case instead of the brushed finish.  While the Daytona 116520 has seen significant modifications from its previous incarnations, it is difficult to dispute that this watch upholds much of Daytona’s best traditions, such as the excellent chronographic capabilities and attractive design that have made this watch a favorite for years.  Prices for this Daytona model have more than doubled since the launch of the 116500 in 2016.
