El Primero-equipped Daytona "Ref. 16520"
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.
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 dial, this is a rare dial that is very rarely seen.
Personally, I love the cool letter "E" in the ROLEX logo!
○ "Reverse 6" dial
At 6 o'clock, the number "6" on the 12-hour counter 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".
Due to the characteristics up to the S series, MK1 dial/floating and MK2 dial/4 lines
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 "R4",
The bracelet is in good condition.
○Kamaboko case
The kamaboko case is also a feature of the early models!
Can you see that the early models have a thick case?
The kamaboko case gives off a very rugged impression which is very appealing.
This is a comparison photo with the 200 Taki x Floating "Ref. 16523"!
This combination model is also recommended !
The condition is good with some small scratches from use,
It is in good overall condition and makes a very good impression.
*There is a crown watermark on the glass.
The middle case is thick and sturdy without being overly finished.
As you can see, the edges of the rug feet are standing firmly!!
The bracelet is in good condition, although it is slightly wrinkled.
The luminous material is all tritium.
The dial is also in good condition.
Accessories include box, international service warranty (2007, 2018), Daytona booklet, Oyster booklet,
Green tag (no serial number), chronometer tag, booklet, calendar (88-89)
We have all the following items!
The white Daytona booklet included is a nice touch!
The content is a parade of early models.
By the way, the outer box comes with a reflector sticker and a white circle sticker!!
This box is also rare!
Wrist shot!!
Enjoy this early model of 200 Taki x 4 line dial!
This is an extremely cool item!
The early model "Ref.16520" with MK1 bezel and MK2 dial
