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 is now being phased out by Rolex and is being replaced in the model line up with the 116500LN. The discontinuation of the 116520 model has now made it much more sought after. Never worn and with all the protective stickers intact, this Rolex Cosmograph Daytona is supplied with the original Rolex boxes, both swing tags, instruction manual and Rolex warranty card. Dated July 2015, this watch has the added benefit of being covered by the Rolex international warranty until July 2020.
