Hello!

Kaneko from Commit Ginza will introduce some recommended watches!
Today we have Patrizio, who is beautifully tanned and attractive.

Rolex Daytona Black Patrizi All Tritium
Ref.16520 Serial.W3 (manufactured around 1994)
Cal.4030 78390/FF503B Clasp Code W4
Accessories: Box, warranty card (430: Singapore/Dec 1995)
SOLD OUT!!

Daytona with El Primero, manufactured from R to P, "Ref. 16520"
This time we have in stock the rare "Patrizzi Dial" model, which has a brown discolored sub-dial.

We have been receiving a lot of Patrizio products recently, which is a blessing.
It's just a coincidence of timing,
There may come a time when shipments of items with a certain amount of color will come to a complete halt.

If you are looking for it, we recommend you check it out when it is in stock.

The name "Patrizi" comes from Oswald Patrizi, the founder of Antiquorum.
It was pointed out that the sub-dials of Daytona Ref. 16520 watches manufactured between 1994 and 1995 were turning a dark brown.
It came to be called the "Patrizzi dial."

Recently, I have the impression that there has been a huge increase in inquiries about Patrizi and brown eyes.
This is a model that moves fast every time, so if you're looking for one, be sure to check it out!

This one has browned beautifully and evenly.
This is a very attractive Patrizio dial.

I have the impression that many black dials from this era have deterioration around the subdials, etc.
This particular watch has a beautiful dial with no sign of such deterioration.

Such a beautiful Patrizia dial is definitely rare!!

There are many rare models of El Primero equipped Daytona,
Currently, the darker Patrizi models are as common as the earlier rare models.
The stock is extremely low and the market price is stable at a high level.

If the in-dial becomes darker,
Even if it's the same Ref. 16520, it's a completely different watch.

This retro feel that you can't get with the current model is irresistible!!
Even so, the tanning effect really suits the Ref. 16520/black lettering!!

The hands will be tritium hands in later years,
The atmosphere is not spoiled at all.

The condition is good, with some scratches and scuffs from use.
There are no major scratches and the condition is good.

The middle case is in the condition you see here!
It is in good condition with no excessive finishing.

There are some scratches from use,
It is equipped with a period-matching MK5 bezel.

Buckle clasp code is "W4"
The hard bracelet matches the era and is in good condition with only slight creasing!

Accessories include box, warranty card, international service warranty card (2022.5), chronometer tag, green tag (no serial number),
Comes with a Daytona booklet, an Oyster booklet, extra links (full links), a calendar (94-95), and a bezel cover!

Wrist shot!! What a nice tan!!
The royal road W number/Patrizzi is attractive!!

Rare discoloration model "Daytona Ref.16520 W Patrizio"
The dial is in good condition, and the sub-dials have turned a deep, beautiful brown, making this a truly wonderful piece that you'll appreciate the more you look at it!
It is still possible to find one if you look hard enough, but in the long run, Patrizi's that meet all these criteria will become increasingly rare!
If you are looking for Ref. 16520/Patrizzi, please consider this one!
