More Information
Specialist note
Offered in very good overall condition, the present reference 16520 impresses through the quality of its dial. Of particular interest, the present chronograph features discoloured chapter rings to the registers. The topicalization phenomenon can occur due to the reaction between the paint and atmospheric factors (oxygen, UV light etc).
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.
