Rolex "Oyster Perpetual Superlative Chronometer officially certified Cosmograph Daytona", Movement No. 90486, Case No. S256540, Ref. 16520, Cal. 4030, 41 mm, circa 1994
An automatic wristwatch "COSMOGRAPH DAYTONA" with so called "Patrizzi Dial" - with original box, operating instructions, certificate and 2 Rolex hang tags
Case: steel, screw back ref. 16500, steel bezel with tachy scale graduated to 400 units per hour, screwed "Triplock" winding crown, screwed chronograph pushers, steel "Oyster" bracelet ref. 78390 with endlinks stamped 503B and 13 bracelet elements (!). Dial: black.
The so-called "Patrizzi dial" is a colour variant that occurs in the black Daytona reference 16520 - the light-coloured rings of the subsidiary dials take on a brownish hue over the years. This particular feature takes its name from auctioneer Osvaldo Patrizzi, who owned such a watch and observed and described this oddity. His original "Patrizzi watch" was sold during an auction in 2006.
