Catalogue Note:
The Rolex reference 16520, produced from 1987 to 2000, marked a significant transition in the lineage of the Cosmograph Daytona. It represented a blend of the old and new eras, as it was the first model to feature an automatic movement, while also being the final instance of Rolex utilizing outsourced movements in their watches. Crafted in 1999, as indicated by the case number, the present watch holds remarkable rarity as it belongs to the last batch of the 16520 model to be manufactured.
