Description
The Rolex Daytona 16520 with the rare “Patrizzi” dial is an exceptional vintage chronograph that embodies both historical significance and collector appeal. Crafted in stainless steel, its 40mm Oyster case maintains the classic proportions of the Daytona line, complemented by a fixed steel bezel engraved with a tachymeter scale. This reference, produced with a Zenith-based automatic movement, marks a pivotal era in the evolution of the Daytona collection.
The standout feature of this Daytona is its black “Patrizzi” dial, named after renowned watch expert Osvaldo Patrizzi, who first identified the natural discoloration phenomenon. Over time, the silver subdials have developed a warm brown patina due to oxidation of the organic lacquer, making each watch unique. The dial layout remains clean and functional, with three subdials for chronograph timing and luminous hour markers ensuring legibility.
Powered by the Rolex-modified Zenith El Primero-based Caliber 4030, this Daytona delivers exceptional precision with a 28,800 vph frequency and an approximately 50-hour power reserve. The movement was meticulously refined by Rolex to enhance durability and timekeeping accuracy before transitioning to fully in-house movements in later models.
Paired with a stainless steel Oyster bracelet, the Daytona 16520 “Patrizzi” is a grail watch for collectors who appreciate rare dial variations and the transitional history of the Daytona series. Its combination of heritage, mechanical excellence, and evolving aesthetics makes it one of the most desirable vintage Rolex chronographs on the market.
