Rolex Daytona 16520 “Inverted 6”

The Rolex Daytona is widely recognized as one of the most iconic chronographs ever produced, with a rich history and a stunning design that is arguably one of the most beautiful chronograph designs of all time. Reference 16520 is commonly referred to as the "Zenith Daytona," as it is powered by a Zenith El Primero movement that has been modified by Rolex. This particular piece was sold around 1995 and has remained in superb condition ever since. The case and strap are in excellent condition, and the green sticker on the case back is still clearly visible. The dial is immaculate and its beige sub-dials give it a vintage look that is highly sought after by collectors. This particular model is an ‘inverted 6’ version, distinguished by an inverted 6 on the sub-dial at 6 o’clock. The ‘T Swiss Made T’ dial and the tritium hands have developed a beautiful beige patina. The watch is entirely original and is sold with its original full set. The serial number N4 dates the start of production to around 1991/1992, and the T-marked clasp on the strap confirms that production ended in 1995, which coincides with a sale in the same year. If you are looking to expand your collection and acquire key pieces of horology's history, the Rolex Daytona is a perfect addition. Finding examples in such excellent condition is becoming increasingly rare, making this watch all the more valuable and special.
