SOLD OUT!!

El Primero-equipped Daytona "Ref. 16520" manufactured from R to P
This time, we have a rare model in stock , "Patrizzi," with brown discolouration on the sub-dial!

It is a rare model that seems to have been in short supply recently, so
If you're looking for it, be sure to check it out!

The name "Patrizi" comes from Antiquorum's founder, Oswald Patrizi.
It was pointed out that the subdials of Daytona Ref. 16520 watches manufactured between 1994 and 1995 were discoloring to a dark brown.
It is said that this came to be called the "Patrizzi dial."

In reality, it is a model that exists in a wider range of ages,
As expected, the classic serial number W Patrizzi is very popular!!

This specimen has browned beautifully and evenly.
It has 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 signs of deterioration.

There is some aging around the outer periphery of the dial, which is typical of El Primero watches of this age.
It's only noticeable if you look closely, so the atmosphere hasn't been ruined at all.

There are many rare models of El Primero equipped Daytona,
Currently, the darker Patrizi models are available in the market just like the rare early models.
The number of shares has become extremely low, and it seems that the market price is rising under the surface.

Especially recently, the 16520 market has been on an upward trend overall,
Now is the time to get hold of such a rare model.

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

This retro atmosphere that you can't get with the current model is irresistible!!
By the way, the Ref. 16520/black lettering looks great with the tan finish!!

The luminous material is all tritium.
The luminous condition is also good!

The condition is good, there are scratches on the case and bracelet,
This is a watch with a good impression, with no sagging around the bezel or anywhere else!

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

Buckle clasp code is "W4"

The bracelets of the same age have some natural creases,
It fits perfectly on your wrist.

Accessories include box, warranty card, chronometer tag, Daytona booklet (91),
It comes with extra links (full links) and a bezel cover!

It's nicely browned!!
The parts are perfectly matched!

Wrist shot!! So cool!!
The classic W/Patrizzi is fascinating!!

Rare discoloration model "Daytona Ref. 16520 W Patrizio"
The dial is in good condition, and the sub-dials have turned a beautiful deep brown, making this a truly wonderful piece that you'll appreciate the more you look at it!
There are some scratches on the whole, but combined with the burnt dial,
This makes it a rugged and manly model!
If you are looking for Ref. 16520/Patrizzi, please consider this!
