Rolex Cosmograph Daytona Black Dial 116520

There's no introduction necessary for the Rolex Daytona, simply an icon in the watch world and one of the most desirable steel pieces on the market. This particular reference is the 116520, so the last of the steel-bezel references, bridging the gap between the Zenith-powered 16520 and the latest 116500 and 126500 ceramic-bezel references, and are a bit of a sweet spot for us as they have a build quality that stands up to the very latest pieces, while having a cool neo-vintage vibe about them.

Sold new locally in 2015, this particular example presents in TZ 'Excellent' condition. Case is superb, with only minor hairlines and swirls present. Case back shows some scratches, and rear of the lugs show some marks form the bracelet being removed. Bezel is in fantastic condition, with no paint loss. You can see some minor indents under a loupe, but not visible to the naked eye. Dial and hands are fantastic, with no signs of poor servicing present. Please see images for full condition details.

Bracelet includes 11 links and will fit up to a 7.6in wrist, and shows mild desk dive marks.

Service history is unknown. Currently keeping COSC time at 290+ degrees of amplitude measured dial-up on a timegrapher, and all functions operating as they should. 

Comes with outer box, inner box, instruction booklet, service guide, warranty card (expired), green hang tag, correctly stickered white hang tag and card holder.

A fantastic example of a very late production 116520.
