A rare Rolex Daytona Black Dial pre-ceramic model 116520 in black dial, a model reference that was discontinued nearly a decade ago and is becoming extremely difficult to come into the market, especially as a full set with boxes and papers, and currently under Rolex’s official warranty.
This particular reference was the last generation of Rolex Daytona with a polished stainless-steel bezel, before Rolex replaced these in favour of black ceramic bezel model 116500LN in 2016 (which is not further replaced by 126500LN in 2023), making this particular configuration very desirable, rare and collectible today. These non-ceramic bezels now are only offered in the precious metal Daytona in white gold, yellow gold, everose, platinum etc.
As this is one of the last pre-ceramic Daytona’s in stainless steel, this example also comes with engraved rehaut (inner bezel) with Rolex laser etching, as can be seen in the photos.
The watch is offered in Mint condition, and presents as a full set, complete with factory presentation boxes and papers dated 2013. This particular piece further comes with Rolex service warranty warranty until mid 2026, as this was recently serviced by Rolex Service centre. The service warranty card is shown in one of the photos with the delivery contents.
The watch is comprehensively tested and authenticated by us and as it is still under Rolex warranty, this inherently comes with further assurance and peace of mind in regards to timekeeping and accuracy.
Please note that we don’t use catalog photos rather all the photos on this listing are taken from the actual Rolex Daytona Black Dial 116520 timepiece for sale and show the condition of the watch as it presents. The photos showcase the very timepiece that is available for sale i.e. what you see is what you will receive, shall you wish to purchase this very collectible timepiece.
The serial number and the card details are redacted in all the photos for privacy and security reasons.
Please further note that since we use macro and high-resolution equipment for the photos, there may be fingerprints or some dust/debris that may show in the photos.
