Footnotes
The Rolex Daytona stands among the most desirable of the prestigious makers' lineup. From the first officially named Daytona, ref. 6239, the watch has been updated periodically to keep up with the times while maintaining its essence. In 2000, Rolex updated the watch again and replaced its predecessor the 16520 which used the Zenith El Primero movement. The new Calibre 4130 used fewer parts, improving its efficiency, precision, and performance.
This particular model is a rare example of the 116520 and is nicknamed the "APH Daytona" thanks to a dial configuration in which the "R" and "APH" in the world "Cosmograph" appear to by slightly separated. This version was produced between 2011 and 2014 and is quite difficult to find. The single owner lot comes with all its paperwork including the original sales receipt from the Authorized Dealer.
