First introduced in 1963, it was designed to meet the needs of racing drivers. The chronograph and tachymeter scale allows calculation of average speed. An icon eternally joined in name and function to the high performance world of motor sport. The short supply and limited availability of the Rolex Daytona always makes this Rolex model very desirable. The 116520 model has now been phased out by Rolex and is has been replaced in the model line up with the new 116500LN. The discontinuation of the 116520 model has now made it much more sought after. Serviced by Rolex UK in May 2016 with service card, this timepiece is protected under warranty until January 2019. Supplied with the original Rolex boxes, both swing tags, instruction manuals, service receipt and card and Rolex warranty card.
