Hello!

Kaneko from Commit Ginza will introduce some recommended watches!
Today we have an extremely rare model of the El Primero/Daytona.

Rolex Daytona Patrizio All Tritium 
Ref.16520 Serial.S5 (manufactured around 1993)
Cal.4030 78390/FF503B Clasp Code T1
Accessories: Warranty card (USA: stamped July 1994)
SOLD OUT !!

Daytona with El Primero, manufactured from R to P, "Ref. 16520"
The latest item in stock is the rare "Patrizio Dial" model, which has a dark discoloration of the sub-dial .

Among the Patrizi watches, one that has a deep discoloration close to black is inspired by the movie Star Wars and is called "Darth Vader" at overseas auctions.
This particular piece truly demonstrates that level of aging.

But Darth Vader is a great name.
I also love Star Wars,

When I see this model, that song mysteriously starts playing in my head (laughs).

The color is a glossy dark brown with a reddish tint.
Personally, this change is just right for me!

There are some areas where the color is missing,
This natural aging is just too much.

This is a comparison photo with the 16520/W number (left) in our stock.

The one in our stock is a beautiful Patrizi with a deep burnt color.
When you compare them like this, you can see how dark this one is!

The dial is an inverted 6-dial that matches the period.

Important point!!
The condition of the black dial is excellent.
It is in very good condition.

It is undoubtedly rare to find a deeply tanned Patrizzi with a dial in such good condition!

It seems that early examples often have some deterioration around the subdials, but this example has an exceptionally clean dial with no sign of such deterioration.

The luminous material is all tritium.
The condition of the needle luminous is good.

The condition is good, with some scratches and scuffs from use.
The individual condition is good.

The bezel is also aged and has some ink loss,
It's very crispy.

The middle case is in good condition and retains its original shape.

The lug feet are in excellent condition, both the hairline and edge lines.

The rugged lug feet look great!

Buckle clasp code is "T1"

The bracelet matches the era and is in good condition with only slight creasing!

There is still a reflector seal on the back cover!

Comes with a USA guarantee!
The dial color and bracelet number match perfectly!

Wrist shot!!
You can't see the memory!! But it looks so cool!!

If you wear a model like this, you'll be excited!!

Rare discoloration model "Daytona Ref.16520 S5 Darth Vader"
The brown color, dial, and case condition are all top class!!
If you come across such a great and cool specimen, it's your chance!!
For those looking for a first-class Patrizi dial,
Please consider it!
