Description

LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, 

May I present you the Great Ultra rare 16520 BLACK DIAL, A SERIES, in Country code: 888 FULL SET!! WITH BOX AND PAPER  100% ORIGINAL

This version of Daytona is extremely difficult to comeby, as it is the first and last series in the 16520 that features Sealed end links, and is also the last batch of 16520 to be produced right before 
its discontinuation in the early 2000. After that all Zenith Daytona became extinct. Ever since then, the value has been increasing without stop as it is getting rare, 
not to mention a full set A series with 888.

***THIS IS ONE OF THE HIGHEST VALUE APPRECIATION ROLEX MODELS

All box and paper are present with matching number and serial, which matches the serial on the greens tag, meaning all the contents are 100% original! 
Just the way it was when it was bought 17years ago.This watch has been kept in pristine condition. 

The 16520 Daytona series only had a short production time from 1988 to 2000, which was just no more than 12 years in total, making it extremely hard to come by nowadays. 

All 16520 series house the legendary Zenith automatic chronograph calibre Cal.400 which was designated as cal.4030,  
and was deliberately down tuned by Rolex SA from 5hz to 4hz for stability and rigid performances.

The bracelet of thiswatch is in great condition, very tight, not a tiny bit loose at all and the all the total 13links are present.

Contents of the box are:
**Rolex Daytona 16520 A series
**Certificate with country code 888
**13links 
**inner cushion
**Red and Rolex green tags with matching serial number of the watch
**a small leather booklet holder
**Outer boxset

I am a very passionate private collector, i do the best I can to keep my collection in the best condition possible.
I have sold a few watches on watchprosite already which you can see by looking up my posts and profile.

I m currently based in Hong kong, therefore i can only accept wire transfer from international buyers,
however, i do have a local office near Central in Hong kong which you can visit me by appointment.

The value of 16520 A series has been increasing continuously over the years, 
and i m confident that this will be a worthy investment as well as a great time piece to admire

📖 About This Reference

The Rolex Cellini reference 16520 is a notable example of the brand's dress watch offerings, distinct from its more robust sport models. This particular reference represents a period where Rolex explored more refined and understated designs, catering to a clientele seeking a timepiece suitable for formal occasions. It stands as a testament to Rolex's versatility in watchmaking, showcasing a different facet of their design philosophy compared to their Oyster Perpetual line. This reference features a case crafted from stainless steel, measuring 40mm in diameter. It is equipped with an automatic movement, specifically the Caliber 4030, which is based on the Zenith El Primero. The movement provides a power reserve of approximately 50 hours. A sapphire crystal protects the dial, and the watch is rated for a water resistance of 100 meters. The fixed tachymeter bezel is a characteristic feature. For collectors, the reference 16520 appeals to those interested in the evolution of Rolex's dress watch designs and their use of external base movements. Its production run from 1988 to 2000 places it within a specific era of Rolex manufacturing. The black dial and Oyster bracelet contribute to its overall aesthetic, making it a recognizable piece within the Cellini collection.

The MOST ELUSIVE Zenith 16520 Daytona of them all!!
To many the Rolex Daytona SS 116520 is the most sought after and difficult to source piece in the current lineup but the truth is, they are no longer as in demand as in the past due to the economic crisis.
