Hello! It’s Kaneko from Commit Ginza, and I’m here to introduce a recommended watch!
Today, we have a rare specimen of the Daytona/Ref. 16520.
Rolex Daytona Black Dial El Primero
Ref.16520 Serial.A9 (Manufactured around 1999)
Cal.4030 78390A/FF803B Clasp code AB4
Accessories: Box, Warranty card (150: Spain/Open date)
SOLD OUT!!
It has been restocked! If you are looking for one, please consider this opportunity.
Marking the commemorative 777th installment is this
El Primero-equipped Daytona "Ref. 16520."
With recent market prices clearly on an upward trend, this is a model that we receive many inquiries about in-store.
Personally, I believe this is a prime example of a 5-digit model that you should secure now.
Now, for those of you who looked at this photo and thought, "Huh??", you definitely know your stuff!!
Yes.
Even though it is an A-serial Luminova dial/MK7, it has developed a beautiful color.
Normally, "brown dials" are often seen in pieces from the S-serial to T-serial range,
but this one is an A-serial brown dial.
I have seen a few A-serial brown dials in the past, but
the dial condition on this specimen is outstanding, and
the color is truly exquisite.
What do you think??
This face. It's cool, isn't it?
The impression it gives when held is excellent,
and it radiates an indescribable, mysterious aura.
This is a comparison shot with another A-serial Ref. 16520 (on the right).
You can clearly see the difference in color!!
At first glance, you wouldn't think they are both A-serials, but they are both A-series pieces (haha).
It’s not just the dial that is surprising!!
This piece is an excellent specimen with exceptional condition on the bezel, case, and bracelet.
The sharp bezel is an MK6, which is appropriate for an A9-serial.
There are some scuffs, but the condition is outstanding!
Next, please take a look at the case condition.
It is a sharp, crisp specimen that feels like it has never been polished.
The lug shape is as you see here.
It is extremely difficult to find such a piece for a Ref. 16520 these days.
It maintains excellent thickness and hairline finishes.
There is no noticeable slack in the bracelet!!
The reference sticker remains perfectly intact on the case back!!
The accessories are also perfect!!
It comes complete with: box, warranty card, Daytona-spec serial tag, chronometer tag,
Daytona booklet (99), Oyster booklet (00), calendar (00-01), and
extra links (full links)!!
Wrist shot!!
The brown-change really suits this model well!!
Although it isn't a "classic" serial, this is an excellent specimen with a fantastic atmosphere!
This El Primero-equipped Daytona Ref. 16520 A9-serial has turned brown.
It is a rare specimen that you rarely come across.
This is a gem I would love for you to see and hold in person!
If you are a customer looking for a rare El Primero Daytona,
please do consider this one!
