16520 is 200 Taki, 225 Taki, Porcelain, Step/Floating,
4 lines, 6 inverted dials, Patrizio, Brown Eye, A number, P number,
This is a popular model with a unique character that will appeal to enthusiasts.
In the El Primero-equipped Daytona/Ref. 16520,
We are also introducing it on our YOUTUBE/COMMIT TV, so
Please take a look!
The model we are introducing this time is the earliest Ref. 16520, which has some attractive features.
First, let's look at some of the unique features of the early model!

○MK1 bezel "200 Taki" bezel

The tachymeter bezel on the 16520 is usually 400 meters,
The very early ones were 200 meters long.

○MK2 dial “4 lines”

The 5-line English notation has disappeared from "OFFICIALLY CERTIFIED"
The initial dial had four lines of text.
Like the MK1, this is a rare dial that is very hard to come by.
Personally, I love the cool letter "E" in the ROLEX logo!

○ "Reverse 6" dial

This is an early dial produced up to the S series, and is called the "reverse 6" or "inverted 6" because the number "6" on the 12-hour counter at the 6 o'clock position is inverted to look like a "9".
MK1 dial/floating and MK2 dial/4 line will always be “inverted 6”.

○Single buckle

The single buckle is also an essential feature of this early model.
This one has a slightly later clasp code of "R",
I feel that this kind of discrepancy is acceptable.

The condition is that there are many scratches on the whole item due to use.
However, since it is now classified as a vintage model,
Strangely enough, the scratches don't feel like a negative thing.

The middle case has a slight polished feel,

There is no excessive finishing at all!!

The bracelet is slightly wrinkled!!

The luminous material is all tritium. Tritium hands that have not been replaced are quite rare!
The dial has some deterioration typical of El Primero watches of this age,
There is no major damage.
Overall, the faces are very original and attractive!

Comes with box, warranty card, serial tag, chronometer tag and booklet!
The overwhelming majority of products are missing warranty cards.
The included features are attractive!
Your rating will definitely go up!

Wrist shot!!
Like the floating model, it has a unique feel that only the early models can have!
It's cool!!

The early model "Ref.16520" with MK1 bezel and MK2 dial

This is a rare model that you rarely see!
In particular, products that come with a warranty like this one are hard to come by even in our store!
This product has been overhauled at our affiliated workshop!
Customers looking for a rare El Primero-equipped Daytona,
Please consider this.
