Description
The reference 16520 has been known for its iconic status in the Rolex collecting world ever since it became available. The fact that Rolex had to source movements from Zenith to offer an automatic Chronograph movement to the market pulled the attention towards this reference. Ever since 1987 it has been sold with different dial versions which have different standings on the collectors market. The present example is one from the early ones having the inverted 6 in the 6' subdial. Furthermore this piece is very attractive because the subdials of the Chrono registers have aged to a caramel brown, a phenomenon which is called Patrizzi among collectors. It comes with its original box and Rolex Service Card making it very interesting for seasoned collectors.
