A STAINLEES STEEL 16520 'TROPICAL PATRIZZI' DIAL DAYTONA FULL SET AND ACCESSORIES BY ROLEX Very well received by collectors at the time of its release, the ref. 16520 is today considered as one of the most important sports wristwatches launched by Rolex. However, some series of this reference have a much higher value than others. During the dial manufacturing process, one of the processes is to apply a layer of paint on the chronograph counters, this paint that was used in some batches produced within the Zenith movement series until the second half of the 90's that often develops a natural 'tropical¿ brown tint like this 1998 'U' series model. This superb Cosmograph Daytona is offered with its original Rolex warranty and its extremely complete set of accessories.
