Rolex Daytona 116520

Description

2003 Rolex Cosmograph Daytona 40 Steel / Cream / Oyster

With its state-of-the-art technology, evocative heritage and sporting aura, the Oyster Perpetual Cosmograph Daytona swiftly became an iconic watch. Its dial carries in red letters the name “Daytona” – the most famous motor racing circuit in the United States. Available in 904 L steel, 18k gold and Rolesor versions with a variety of dials, robust Oyster bracelets, as well as elegant straps equipped with high security Oysterlock clasps - the Cosmograph Daytona is tailored for the track and the concert hall. The reference 116520 pairs a stainless steel case and bracelet with a white dial. This iteration is set apart by the spacing in the word "Chronograph" on the dial. The last three letters of the word are slightly further spaced apart than the rest of the letters on the dial, hence the nickname "APH dial."
