Notes
Never offered at auction before, this 116520 is one of the early series that exhibits the extremely sought-after color-change cream dial that has turned to a beautiful lemon color known on only 3 reference letters P, K and Y. Accompanied by all its documentation and with its sticker caseback still in place the watch has seen little wear and is a very rare variation sought-after by collectors. For a similar watch see, the Ultimate Daytona by Pucci Papaleo, p. 71 and Antiquorum, May 2021, lot 410.
Provenance
Property of a French collector
