Notes

This 116520 represents a good opportunity to have a new old stock watch with a color changed dial. Introduced in 2000, the new Daytona was a revolution as it became equipped finally with its own in-housecaliber (caliber 4130) replacing the old Zenith caliber 4030 that was basically used from 1988 until the year 2000. Color variations in Rolex dials due to faulty dials or humidity have long been appreciated by collectors and this variations from white to cream represents one of the last modern dial variations.
