Rolex Daytona 116520 with prototype dial

Rolex Daytona 116520 with a ‘prototype’ dial, it is actually not. It also has not been sold this way by Rolex, of course. So what is it then? It is to be believed that this is a ‘test dial.  More Rolex Daytona replica watches.

A dial used in watches that needed to be tested, most probably as a dial for movements that were sent out for the COSC test procedures. When the COSC tests and certifies a movement as ‘chronometer’, it needs a dial of course. So Rolex sends out movement batches with these test dials.

This watch fetched an impressive €24.000,- at the Catawiki auction. We do believe that the description could have been a bit more accurate, but still this seems a fair market price for a Rolex with a dial that was never sold this way.Strange thing is, that the watch comes with the box and paper work all together.
