Rolex Daytona 16520 Zenith, Inverted Six, Collectors Set

The Rolex Daytona in many of its variations is one of the most desirable and collectible watches available and I am delighted to be able to offer this quite exceptional piece.

The 16520 was first introduced in 1988 and remained in production until 2000. With the introduction of the reference came the first automatic movement in a Daytona, initially a heavily modified Zenith El Primero 400 caliber which today is highly prized by collectors, the 16520 was also the first Daytona with sapphire glass along with other significant modifications this was the to become the blueprint for what we recognise as all modern Daytona’s.

For the first few years of production the 16520 also had the unique feature of an inverted six appearing on the bottom sub dial, after around 1994 the six was returned to its upright position.

The watch I have on offer today is a superb example manufactured in 1991 featuring a perfect inverted six dial along with the highly prized Zenith movement with the added benefit of also having the original Rolex papers and box.
