This particular Daytona is known by collectors as the 'Patrizzi' Rolex Cosmograph Daytona reference 16520. The model has the top quality Zenith el Primero modified by Rolex calibre 4030 movement. The watch is called the Patrizzi Daytona because specialist watch auctioneer, Osvaldo Patrizzi, after years of research, discovered that the finish that Rolex used for the sub dial chapter rings made the colour fade to a nice shade of toffee over the years, and is visible with this example. These watches are rare to find with the original dial and having all the original boxes and guarantee paperwork.
