Notes

Coming from the very first owner, the present watch has never been at auction before. This specific variation of the 116500 dial represents the rarest version, showing a huge 3d effect with a deep and visible shadow under the graphic. Introduced in 2016, the reference 116500LN is today one of the most requested watches over the planet.
The waiting list overtakes ten years and only few pieces in some precise batch of production has the identical effect seen in the 16520 porcelain 3d dial.
