Accompanied by an undated Rolex Warranty, product literature, Rolex presentation box, and outer packaging.
The present watch is not only a treasured timepiece because it was given as a gift to the winner of Rolex 24 at Daytona in 2001, but also because in the year 1999, Rolex transitioned from housing Zenith movements to Rolex movements in the reference 16520, and this watch is this one very last few to house the Zenith movement. A rarity among its counterparts, the present watch holds the history of Rolex in transition.
Reference 16520 with black dial is illustrated in 100 Years of Rolex by F. & G. Mondani, 2008, p. 205.
