RARE Daytona 16520 version with FOUR LINER dial and 225 bezel!
Following on from the Mk 1 dial, which had the detached or floating ‘COSMOGRAPH’ text came a second version of the dial. This time the word Cosmograph was grouped with the rest on the text at the top of the dial, but a line of text was omitted: ‘OFFICIALLY CERTIFIED’. The dials were still being produced by Singer and retained certain common traits with the Mk1 dials such as the inverted 6 in the hour totalizer.
Known as the Four-Liner, this dials is both rare and interesting. Interesting because nobody can really explain the reason for the omitted line of text. It is certainly not a mistake. Error dials have been discovered over the years, but there are too many four-line dials in existence for this to be the case for the Mk2. One thing is for sure – the balance of the four lines is lovely. These dials appeared on L-series watches produced from late 1988 to mid-1989.
The there is a dial and bezel combination with the L serial four-line dials that is the perfect storm – the presence of the rare and elusive so-called 225 bezel. The early MK1 bezels had a similar layout to the previous vintage Daytona bezels.
A legend among chronographs, the vintage Rolex Daytona Cosmograph Four Liner Ref. 16520 is a must-have for serious collectors and motorsport enthusiasts alike. This iconic model features the robust Oyster case, matching steel bracelet, and secure folding clasp, combining sporty elegance with timeless durability.
A rare piece of racing heritage - built for speed, crafted for legacy.
