Notes
Part of the famous series of defect dials made by Rolex for the 16520, this Daytona sub-dials have turned to a very deep dark color that makes the dial appear almost "stealth" like earning its name of Darth Vader. Kept in overall very good condition and with its original punched warranty, a watch that allows the wearer to have a unique look in comparison with other color-change dials.
