Daytona with El Primero, manufactured from R to P, "Ref. 16520"
The product we are introducing this time has the characteristics of the early model.
It is an all-tritium specimen!
The number of El Primero/Daytona watches is decreasing,
Consistent early model Daytonas are even more scarce.

First, let's take a look at the features of the initial model!

Commonly known as the "reverse 6 dial"

At 6 o'clock, the number "6" on the 12-hour counter is inverted to look like a "9".
This is an early dial produced up to the S number, known as the "reverse 6" or "inverted 6" .
It is also called "INVERTED 6" overseas.

By the way, the dial is the "MK4" that matches the era.
The sub-dials on this particular watch have a slight brown tint.
Just adding brown tones can completely change the atmosphere!

What do you think?
This is a semi-vintage model with a great atmosphere!
The indexes and luminous hands are also burnt!!
And this tan is so cool!!

If you look closely, you can see some deterioration on the outer circumference of the dial.
The atmosphere is never compromised!

The buckle is a single buckle .
The initial model features:
The single buckle is an essential feature of the “inverted 6” dial
.
Personally, I like the inverted 6 dial.
The matte stainless steel single bracelet gives it a more retro feel.
I think it's cool!!
The clasp code is "P" which matches the era!

78360/Single bracelet has slight wrinkles,
It's in crisp good condition!

The condition is good, there are some small scratches from use,
Overall it is in good condition and makes a very good impression!

As you can see, the case side is in good condition. It's beautiful.

The MK5 bezel is also in good condition with the edges still intact.

The condition of the middle case is also excellent!

The lugs are thick and the hairlines are in good condition.

It's rare to find such a crisp middle case in an early 16520!!

Accessories include an inner box, warranty card, and calendar (92-93).

Finally, a wrist shot!!
The slightly brown inverted 6 dial is really cool!!

El Primero-equipped Daytona Ref.16520 "Brown Reverse 6/Single Tritium"
This is a 5-digit Daytona/semi-vintage model which is extremely rare currently.
This product comes with an attractive snap-on case and a warranty, so I highly recommend it!
Customers looking for an early Daytona "Ref. 16520",
Please consider it!
