Notes
The 116520 is thus the result of Rolex's decision to manufacture its own chronograph movement for the first time, the Caliber 4130, which introduces major innovations and a heavy reliability.
The model presented here is an extremely desirable example because its dial has colored over the years to obtain a warm and enchanting patina, the original white have taken an ivory patina of the most beautiful effect.
This type of aging, very rare, affects only few Daytona examples, and collectors have given it the nickname "panna cotta" or "panna dial."
