Description

Rolex 116520 Daytona SS White Dial UNWORN STICKERS

The Rolex Cosmograph Daytona reference 116520 is a landmark chronograph, first launched in 2000 as the inaugural Daytona powered by Rolex’s in‑house calibre 4130. This stainless steel 40 mm model with white dial has become a modern icon, beloved by collectors for its blend of technical innovation and timeless design. The 4130 movement, with its simplified architecture and Parachrom hairspring, delivers 72 hours of power reserve and exceptional reliability. The case measures approximately 12.3 mm thick, with a lug‑to‑lug length of about 46.3 mm, offering a balanced presence on the wrist without sacrificing comfort. Water‑resistant to 100 meters, it retains the Daytona’s motorsport heritage with a steel tachymeter bezel and screw‑down pushers. The Oyster bracelet in 904L steel provides both robustness and refinement, while the monochrome white dial with contrasting subdials ensures legibility and a striking aesthetic. Though not a limited edition, the 116520’s production run concluded in 2016, enhancing its desirability among enthusiasts. The Daytona’s lineage, technical merit, and enduring appeal make this reference a cornerstone for serious collectors. Unworn with Rolex box and papers dated 2015.
