"Rolex Daytona 16520"

The El Primero-equipped Daytona/Ref. 16520 was produced in numbers R to P.
This is a very popular model with an attractive retro feel that cannot be found in current models.

I really feel the momentum of El Primero these days.
Our store has been very active over the past few months.
Today we have three for sale.

The current Rolex market price has fallen significantly since the first half of April,
It seems that the El Primero market has not been affected.

This is a model with such stability and strength.
The number of items in circulation is gradually decreasing.

If you come across a good specimen, we recommend you consider it as soon as possible!

The product we are introducing this time is serial number A9, just before the final product number.

The condition is a completely sealed dead stock item.
Unused items with such protective film tightly wrapped around them are
It seems like there's clearly less of it in circulation than before.

The non-polished lug feet visible through the shield are very appealing.

The hairline and edge lines are in perfect condition!!
It's a very helpful condition.

You can clearly see that the bezel is also crisp.

Since it is an A9 model, the spacing between the letters "HOUR" is wide, and it comes with a final bezel that matches the era and is called "Awahiro" by fans.

This era does not originally have side seals,
The back cover seal remains firmly in place.
This genuine seal is now a very rare back cover seal.

Please rest assured that the buckle/red velcro seal is securely attached.
*There is no evidence of frame adjustment.

Buckle clasp code is "AB3"
The clasp is super tight!!

The breath is also very stiff!!

This product also comes with a wide range of accessories.

Box (with reflector seal), warranty card (domestic official name eraser), serial tag, chronometer tag, Daytona booklet (99), Oyster booklet (99), instruction manual, how to use special watches,
Comes with a calendar (99-00) and passport case !

Everyone, did you notice anything when you looked at this photo?

This Ref. 16520, which should have been discontinued around 2000, comes with a card guarantee!
The model year is 2012. I slept pretty well.

I knew that such a rare item/16520 existed,
I never thought it would be available at Commit.

Setting aside the circumstances,
This Ref. 16520 with this guarantee is extremely rare!
Moreover, the condition is completely deadstock and shielded!!

It's truly a rare collector's item.

The noteworthy El Primero-equipped Daytona "Ref. 16520/A9"
This is a perfect piece for your collection in full shield condition !
This individual has kept such excellent condition,
In the long run, it will become even more valuable.
Furthermore, when it comes with a card guarantee, there's no telling when you'll come across one again.
If you're even slightly interested, I recommend you grab it now!
If you are looking for 16520, please consider this.
