Specialist note

With Rolex Garantie et Attestation de Chronomètre Officiel dated 27 April 1993, Rolex Garantie d'Entretien dated July 2001, Cosmograph Daytona brochure, green presentation box and outer packaging.

Reference 16520 was introduced into the market in 1988, replacing the references 6263 and 6265. Of similar design, the most important improvement of the new Daytona was its movement, the automatic calibre 4030.

The particularity of certain models however is the dial layout, featuring an upside down "6" digit to the 12 hours counter, appearing as a "9", such as the present watch.
