FS: 1996 Rolex "Zenith" Daytona (Ref 16520) "Patrizzi" MK4 Black Dial

[watchthisway]

Hi everyone. As mentioned in some of my posts, I recently purchased an AP 15202 from a fellow forum member. Between that and other recent watch acquisitions, I must part with some pieces from my collection.

First up is my beloved Rolex "Zenith" Daytona 16520. Black "Patrizzi" dial. T9XXXXX serial. Even though I love this watch, it doesn't get the wrist time it deserves from me.

PRICE: US$25,500 obo. Payment by wire transfer. My pricing rationale is based on the fact that this was the same exact asking price as another black dial T serial Daytona that sold in the last month on this forum. I am open to other thoughts and reasonable offers will be entertained. Please feel free to contact me via PM here, phone (424) 254-8981 or email at traderoski@gmail.com. I am based in the Los Angeles area. Face to face transaction is welcome.

CASE & BRACELET: The case has been lightly polished before but is in excellent condition. The bezel is in excellent condition with no enamel loss. The correct 78360 oyster bracelet with 503B end pieces and 11 links is in excellent condition with minimal stretch (if at all) from use. The original polished center links on the bracelet have been re-polished to a matte finish, which is my preference for a more subtle, less "shiny" wrist presence and is consistent with earlier 16520s. It can easily be polished back by the buyer if desirable. The sapphire crystal is free of any scratches. The reference and serial number (T9XXXXX) is clearly visible on the case sides.

DIAL & HANDS: The beautiful black MK4 dial is in excellent condition. The subdials have taken on the rare and pleasing "Patrizzi" color change over time to a light golden hue. The original tritium hands and tritium lume plots show no lume loss or degradation under UV light.

ACCESSORIES: None. I purchased the watch from a reputable dealer who purchased it from a Rolex AD. This is guaranteed to be authentic Rolex. As best I can tell the watch keeps time well and the chronograph works but I do not have a timing machine and service history is unknown.
