This is what a brand new steel Daytona looked like back in 1999.

We nestled away this completely new black dial A series Daytona ref. 16520 more than a decade a go, understanding that even back then - truly new old stock, full-set Cosmographs are phenomenally rare.

Originally retailed in the UK in July 1999, and presented with its Rolex box (inner and outer), both swing tags, bezel protector, instructions, Daytona racing booklet, 1999-2000 calendar card, and Rolex perforated warranty papers. Powered by Zeniths legendary El Primero calibre 4030, and waterproof to 100m.

Chronograph registers that have aged to an attractive cappuccino tone, Rolex factory stickers; most importantly including the 16520 green caseback sticker, and a perfect untouched factory finish, just as it left Rolex HQ.

Being from the final run of 16520's it benefits from the sturdier 'SEL' (solid end link) 78390A Oyster Fliplock bracelet with polished centre link. 

Guaranteed for two years.
