This model is a rare example of the Rolex Daytona Cosmograph Ref:116520 and is nicknamed the ‘APH Daytona’ due to a dial production error. The “APH” dial variation refers to the final three letters in the word “Cosmograph” that are separated from the beginning of the word with a slight gap; these dials are estimated to have been produced between 2011 –2014.

The 116520 reference was introduced in 2000 to replace the 16520 reference which featured a modified Zenith El Primero movement. The 116520 reference features a Rolex Calibre 4130 movement, the brand’s first in-house chronograph movement.
