A true icon among chronographs, the Rolex Cosmograph Daytona reference 116520 is revered for its sporty elegance, in-house movement, and racing heritage. This certified pre-owned model from 2003 is offered in good condition, and was controlled by Rolex in 2021, where it was fully checked and the movement was adjusted — ensuring it runs with factory precision.

Crafted in solid Oystersteel, the 40 mm case features a polished fixed tachymeter bezel, screw-down pushers, and a robust Oyster bracelet with folding clasp. Its black dial is clean and legible, featuring three sub-dials, white markers, and Chromalight luminescence for perfect legibility in all conditions.

Inside, the watch is powered by Rolex’s in-house calibre 4130 — the first Daytona movement developed entirely by the brand — offering superb chronometric performance and a power reserve of approximately 72 hours.

Though showing signs of use, this timepiece remains in good overall condition, and retains its full functionality. The fact that it was reviewed and regulated by Rolex in 2021 adds confidence and value, especially for collectors seeking a reliable Daytona with service history.

As a certified pre-owned Rolex Daytona, reference 116520, this watch is offered with full authenticity and inspection by professionals. A rare opportunity to own a piece of Rolex racing history with documented service provenance.
