Rolex Cosmograph Daytona Ref 116520

Reference 116520 is the holy grail of modern Rolex collecting — stainless steel Daytona with in-house caliber 4130 movement, black dial, and Oyster bracelet that produced secondary market premiums over retail for years. Serial D36**** places this example in mid-2000s production, a generation considered among the most reliable and collectible of the 116520 run. Complete with all original bracelet links — a frequently missing component that significantly affects value — plus box, papers, and recent service. The stainless steel black dial Oyster configuration is the most sought combination in the reference.

The 116520 trades above retail in the pre-owned market because demand consistently exceeds supply — a dynamic that makes a documented, serviced example from a reputable dealer the correct purchase strategy for the serious collector. Houston Gold Exchange inspects and authenticates pre-owned Rolex with the accuracy that collectors in Bunker Hill Village and Piney Point Village and nationally require. This is not a piece to misrepresent — Rolex buyers know the reference better than most dealers.

Available for in-store inspection at our Houston showroom or for purchase online with fully insured shipping. We provide serial documentation, service records, and additional reference photographs on request.
