Introduced in 2000, it was the first generation to feature Rolex's fully \u003cstrong\u003ein-house Calibre 4130\u003c\/strong\u003e, a movement that transformed the Daytona into one of the most technically accomplished automatic chronographs ever produced.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOver its sixteen-year production span, the reference underwent a series of subtle evolutionary changes. These details—often overlooked by casual buyers—are precisely what seasoned collectors pay attention to today.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis example dates to \u003cstrong\u003e2009\u003c\/strong\u003e (\u003cstrong\u003eV-Series\u003c\/strong\u003e) and belongs to the desirable \u003cstrong\u003eRRR\u003c\/strong\u003e generation, identified by the engraved Rolex Rehaut Ring, a feature introduced during the transition from earlier production models and now considered an important milestone in the evolution of the 116520. Combined with the sought-after \u003cstrong\u003elong clasp\u003c\/strong\u003e, it represents one of the most appealing configurations from the late pre-ceramic era.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eblack dial\u003c\/strong\u003e perfectly complements the polished steel bezel, preserving the clean and balanced aesthetic that made the 116520 an instant classic. Without the visual weight of a ceramic insert, the proportions remain faithful to the original Daytona design language while offering remarkable versatility on the wrist.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt its heart beats the celebrated Calibre 4130, featuring a column wheel and vertical clutch architecture. Renowned for its reliability, efficiency and ease of maintenance, it remains one of Rolex's greatest mechanical achievements and a benchmark among modern chronograph movements.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOffered with its original \u003cstrong\u003ewarranty card and box\u003c\/strong\u003e, this watch embodies everything collectors seek in a late-production 116520: the correct transitional features, complete provenance and outstanding long-term collectability.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs enthusiasm continues to grow for the final steel Daytona before the ceramic era, well-preserved examples like this are becoming increasingly difficult to source, making the Ref. 116520 one of the defining modern Rolex references.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rolex","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58532073079168,"sku":null,"price":21300.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0558\/4738\/7269\/files\/IMG-0192.png?v=1785002522","url":"https:\/\/luxotimefirenze.com\/products\/rolex-daytona-116520-black-card-box","provider":"Luxo Time Firenze","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
