Daytona with El Primero, manufactured from R to P, "Ref. 16520"

The product we are introducing this time is an all-tritium model that has the characteristics of the early model!

The dial is "MK4"

One of the distinctive features of the MK4 dial is the inverted 6 dial.

Commonly known as the "reverse 6 dial"

This is an early dial produced up to the S series, and is called the "reverse 6" or "inverted 6" because the number "6" on the 12-hour counter at the 6 o'clock position is inverted to look like a "9".

It is also called "INVERTED 6" overseas.

The dial condition is excellent considering its age.
No major deterioration is observed.

This is a comparison photo with individual A.
The inner dial has slightly discolored to brown.

Although it is slight, the tanning gives it an old-fashioned feel.

The buckle is a single buckle .
This particular item has an "R" clasp code, so it comes with a buckle that matches the era.

A distinctive feature of the early models is the inverted 6 dial and single buckle .

Personally, I think that the matte stainless steel single bracelet looks more retro and cool with the inverted 6 dial!!

78360/The single bracelet is slightly wrinkled, but is relatively sturdy.

The bezel is also "MK5" and matches the era.

The condition is good with some small scratches overall from use, but the case is not overly finished and the lugs are thick, making it a very impressive piece.

This product comes with a wide range of accessories!

As you can see, it comes with a box (with 16520 Ref. seal), a warranty card, and an international service warranty card (2018/11).
Daytona booklet (94), Oyster booklet (95), other booklets, Daytona tag (no serial number), chronometer tag, bezel cover, passport cover

It is almost complete.
I'm so happy to have all of these!!

Finally, a wrist shot!!
The all-tritium inverted 6 dial is intriguing.
