Today we have a collector's item, the Daytona/Ref. 16520!!
Rolex Daytona El Primero White Letters Reverse 6 All Tritium
Ref.16520 Serial.N (manufactured around 1991)
Cal.4030 78360/FF503 Clasp Code P
Accessories: Box, warranty claim card
SOLD OUT!!
Daytona with El Primero, manufactured from R to P, "Ref. 16520"
The product we are introducing this time is an all-tritium model that has the characteristics of the early model!
The dial is "MK4"
One of the distinctive features of the MK4 dial is the inverted 6 dial.
Commonly known as the "reverse 6 dial" because the number "6" on the 12-hour counter at 6 o'clock is inverted to look like a "9".
This is an early dial produced up to the S number, known as the "reverse 6" or "inverted 6" .
It is also called "INVERTED 6" overseas.
The dial is all tritium and the luminous condition is excellent.
It will be in excellent condition.
The buckle is a single buckle.
The single buckle is an essential feature of the “inverted 6” dial!
Personally, I think that the matte stainless steel single bracelet looks more retro and cool with the inverted 6 dial!!
Well then, everyone!!
Did you notice that this particular model has a red velcro seal on the buckle?
That's right!!
This item is an extremely rare, unused, dead stock item!
It is an early Daytona manufactured more than 30 years ago.
It is rare to come across an individual still remaining in such a condition.
There are some slight storage scratches,
It's in top condition as it's never been used!
The lug feet are in excellent condition and are crisp, which is exactly what you would expect from unpolished items!
Of course, the hairline is perfect!
You should definitely check out this impressive mid-size case!!
The bezel is MK4! It is an early deep-hollow type!
The deep bezel that is unique to this era has a great charm to it!
The beautiful edge lines are amazing!!
Clasp code "P" 78360/single bracelet that matches the era,
Of course it's in superb crisp condition!!
There is no sign of frame adjustment!
The clasp remains firm!
The best part is this official back cover sticker!!
It remains in perfect condition!!
Accessories include box, warranty claim card, Oyster booklet (95), other booklets, tags, calendar (93-94)
We have it all!!
The outer box comes with a reflector sticker and a white circle sticker!
I can't claim it now,
A warranty claim card is included!
Even though there is no warranty, the fact that it comes with a claim card is a plus!

Speaking of deadstock Daytonas, the Phillips Geneva auction in May
A hand-wound Daytona/black lettering Big Red "Ref. 6265/R number" was put up for auction. It was estimated to be between 80,000 and 100,000 Swiss francs,
The final bid was for 226,800 Swiss francs (including fees), exceeding the estimated price.
That's an astonishing price of over 30 million yen in Japanese yen.
Of course, there is the hand-wound Daytona,
The winning bid price was far above the used condition of the item.
As expected, NOS condition items are very rare!
That's it!!
El Primero-equipped Daytona Ref.16520 "Inverted 6/Single Tritium"
This is a rare deadstock item that you rarely see!
Deadstock early Daytonas like these are definitely rare!
