Notes

The patina on Rolex Cosmograph Daytona reference 116520, occurred on the originally white dial only and only within serials P, K and Y produced from 2000 until 2002. This watch is a beautiful and extremely rare example that fits the specifications mentioned previously.

The present Daytona is a serial Y therefore manufactured around 2002 fitting an exceptional cream dial that was originally white. This configuration is extremely desirable for collectors and Rolex lovers that are deeply passionate about “tropical dial”.
