WHY WE LOVE IT
–
We all know the Daytona Story, and it has proven to be a big favorite among the collectors.
Why? Rolex's brilliant motorsports chronograph is in pole position in any category, vintage or modern. And while current automatic versions admittedly don't generally do as much for us as a nice hand-cranking example, a Daytona is a Daytona, and that is just fine with us.
This particular watch, a Reference 116520, dates to circa 2000 and features a stainless steel Oyster case with screw-pushers, a glossy black dial with silver sub register rings, a matching stainless steel Oyster bracelet with a signed fliplock clasp with Rolex's excellent Easylink extension, and Rolex's Calibre 4130 automatic-winding chronograph movement within.
The Daytona, in all its various guises, has long been a favorite of collectors the world over. This first, in-house generation is no different.
