Description

Rolex Daytona "Patrizzi" 16520 - DK set

*Brand:* Rolex *Model:* Daytona "Patrizzi" *Ref. no.* 16520 *Year:* 1996 *Accessories:* Box, papers, certificate, calendar card, both hangtags. *Functions:* Automatic, chronograph, date, tritium “Patrizzi” dial *Size:* 40 mm *Condition:* 8/10 Rolex Daytona “Patrizzi”, ref. 16520 from around 1996 — T8 series, first sold in 1997 through an authorized Danish dealer. A fine and sought‑after example of the discontinued Daytona with the modified Zenith‑based movement. The watch features the rare black “Patrizzi” tritium dial — where the light sub‑dials have developed a warm beige/brown patina over time. Hands and sub‑dials match the dial, and both the white‑gold hour markers and the rings around the sub‑dials remain sharp and intact — a clear sign that the dial is original and not altered. The watch comes with the box, papers, certificate, both hangtags and calendar card.
