Rolex Daytona Ref. 116520, Full Set in Mint Condition

Available for the first time since its original purchase in April 2005, this Rolex Cosmograph Daytona Reference 116520 is a true collector's time capsule. Sourced directly from the original first owner, this F-serial example has been preserved in a state that is virtually indistinguishable from new. The stainless steel case and tachymeter bezel retain their razor-sharp factory edges and full high-polish finish. The original green factory caseback sticker remains perfectly intact, a remarkable and increasingly rare sight that confirms the watch's minimal time on the wrist. The Oyster bracelet shows zero stretch, with a crisp, tight clasp and sharp Coronet engraving throughout.

Collector's Note

The Reference 116520 represents the pinnacle of the modern steel Daytona, powered by the celebrated in-house Calibre 4130 with its column wheel and vertical clutch for precise, smooth chronograph operation. This particular example, in the early F-serial white dial configuration with slim hands, is among the most desirable variants of the reference. What elevates it beyond the ordinary, however, is its extraordinary state of preservation. A complete, unpunched set with intact stickers and all original packaging components is exceptional for any modern Rolex; finding one sourced from a single first owner and in this condition is genuinely rare. For the collector who demands the finest, this is as close to a new 116520 as the market can offer.
