More Information
Specialist note
The present reference 16520 represents a truly rare opportunity for the Rolex collector to acquire an highly attractive example of the Daytona chronograph with 'floating dial' retailed by Tiffany & Co. Only a tiny percentage of reference 16520 were ever double-signed by Tiffany & Co. and today they are one of the most exclusive variations of the model.
The 'floating dial' shows the designation 'Cosmograph' with a marked distance from the previous 'Superlative Chronometer' and 'Officially Certified' lines. In later dial versions the designation Cosmograph is found immediately below the other descriptive lines.
Reference 16520
Legendary chronograph, the reference 16520 was the first chronograph of the Rolex manufacture encompassing an automatic movement derived from a Zenith ebauche. Built with a larger case than its predecessors and a sapphire-crystal glass, the timepiece encountered great success and throughout the years has become highly sought after by collectors.
