Vintage Rolex Cosmograph Ref. 16520 Winner Daytona, 2000
The Rolex Cosmograph Daytona Ref. 16520 is a legendary timepiece, made even more special by its association with the Daytona 24 Hour Race. This particular example, awarded to the winner of the 2000 Grand-Am Rolex Championship, carries an engraved “Winner Daytona 2000” case back, making it a rare and historically significant collector’s piece.
The watch features a 40mm stainless steel case, complemented by a white dial with black subdials and an engraved tachymeter bezel.
