Hello!
Kaneko from Commit Ginza will introduce a recommended wristwatch!
Today's featured item is the very popular semi-vintage Daytona Ref. 16520!
ROLEX Daytona El Primero White Dial Inverted 6/MK3 All Tritium
Ref. 16520 Serial. E9 (manufactured around 1991)
Cal. 4030 78360/FF503 Clasp code N11
Accessories: Box, warranty card (748/open)
SOLD OUT!!
The El Primero-powered Daytona "Ref. 16520" was produced from the R-series to the P-series.
The item introduced today is an all-tritium model with characteristics of the early models!
The number of El Primero Daytonas themselves is decreasing, but early models with good consistency are even rarer.
The market price is generally on an upward trend, so we recommend that those who are looking for one check it out soon.
The individual introduced this time is an excellent early model in exceptionally good condition, presumably because it was not used much. So, if you're interested, please take a look!
Commonly known as the "Inverted 6 Dial"
This is an early dial, produced until around the S series, where the number "6" on the 12-hour sub-dial at the 6 o'clock position is inverted and appears as a "9", hence it is called "Inverted 6". Overseas, it is also called "INVERTED 6".
The highlight of this piece is definitely its dial!
The dial is the rare MK3! While floating MK1 and 4-line MK2 often get attention, this MK3 dial is also a rare dial that is not commonly seen.
Especially the white character MK3 is rarely seen!
The "COSMOGRAPH" lettering is not separated by a space, but the serif lettering, just like MK1, makes for a subtly cool dial!
The dial condition is exceptionally good, maintaining a superb state even under magnification.
A dial this clean on a piece from this era is undoubtedly rare!
The luminous material is all tritium. The nicely aged tritium lume on the white characters looks great.
This particular piece is an excellent example in superb condition!!
While there are minor scratches, it generally maintains a clean state!
It's in such a wonderful condition that it appears unpolished, so it's definitely recommended for those who prioritize the watch's physical state!!
The mid-case maintains its original form as seen here!! This is truly a crisp example!!
Oh, what beautiful hairline finishes! It's a superb case that can be described as in top condition!
Of course, the sharp lugs are still intact!! So cool!
The buckle is a single buckle with clasp code "N11," matching the age. As a characteristic of early models, the "inverted 6" dial with a single buckle is an essential point.
The 78360/single bracelet is also in top-notch condition, with absolutely no stretch!
This bracelet condition is also one of its rare points.
The bezel is also an "MK3" and matches the era. This one is also in crisp, top condition!!
The final touch is this caseback sticker! The reference sticker remains in beautiful condition!
Accessories include the box, warranty card, serial tag, chronometer tag, Daytona booklet (90), Oyster booklet (91), calendar (91-92), and card case!
The country code on the warranty card is the mysterious "748". Which country could it be? Perhaps somewhere in Central and South America or the Caribbean? If anyone knows, please tell me!
The outer box comes with a ref. sticker! For such an excellent piece, having such a complete set of accessories is a welcome bonus!
Wrist shot! A crisp, excellent white dial/MK3 example! This piece is undoubtedly rare!
El Primero-powered Daytona Ref. 16520/E9 "Inverted 6/Single Tritium"
This is a semi-vintage model of the Ref. 16520 that feels particularly strong!
It's an excellent example with superb overall condition for the dial, luminous material, bezel, case, and bracelet! Such early models in top condition are rarely seen these days. It can be said to be a perfect gem for collectors!
To customers looking for an excellent example of the Daytona Ref. 16520/Single Tritium, please consider it!
