Having travelled extensively around Europe since the late 90's, I have handled and purchased more watches than I care to remember. But never have I seen such a perfect brand new example of a Daytona ref. 16520.

Retailed in Cyprus in July 2000, this 'A' series Daytona is one of the final Zenith powered Cosmographs produced. The white Luminova dial and solid end link Oyster bracelet are just a couple of the last upgrades Rolex made before this legendary reference (Rolex's first sapphire glass automatic chronograph) was discontinued.

To find such a spectacular NOS example from 2000 that has never been worn, has all its protective factory stickers attached, and spent its entire life protected inside its green Rolex box is an incredible rarity.

It is offered for the very first time after being kept in our private collection since 2009. Along with its inner/outer Rolex box, Daytona instruction booklets, both swing tags, bezel protector, 2000-2001 calendar card & wallet, and perforated Rolex certificate dated July 2000.

To own this important watch is to step back in time 26 years.
