Introduced in 2000 as the next evolution of the Daytona line, the ref. 116520 retained much of the beloved design of its predecessor, the "Zenith" Daytona, with some subtle changes. The dial layout was tweaked, moving the running seconds subdial from 9 o'clock to 6 o'clock, and the subdials were no longer aligned with the center but were slightly elevated above it, spanning from 9 to 3 o'clock. Rolex also made adjustments by widening the indices to allow for more luminous material💝, extending the lugs, and adding a mirror finish to the case flanks, distinguishing this latest generation even further.
This Rolex Daytona 116520 is in overall excellent condition, even retaining its original protective stickers around the case and case back. What sets it apart is the Khanjar engraving on the caseback, a distinctive mark commissioned by His Majesty Sultan Qaboos bin Said, making t🔜hese timepieces exceedingly rare and highly sought-after. Included with the watch are its full suite of accessories, such as the outer packaging bearing the Khanjar logo and an International Guarantee card stamped by Oไmani retailer Khimji Ramdas.
