2002 Rolex Cosmograph Daytona 116520
Early Daytona reference 116520 with a dial very lightly starting to patina. This serial is within range for these white dials to age all the way to a cream/beige color, once considered as a ‘defect’ and now considered as very collectible. Correct thin hands on the watch. Bezel remains sharp, with all enamel in tact and bevels present. The case and crown guards remain thick. Bracelet remains very tight and shows signs of wear particularly in the high finish center links. Signs of use visible on the bezel and case. Excellent vintage condition with caseback sticker in tact.
I hesitate to call this watch a cream Daytona just yet, perhaps in your ownership…

Bracelet - Strap: 78490 bracelet with AD clasp. 12 links. Fits up to 7.75” wrist
Box - Papers - Accessories: Watch only
Service History: Unknown. Running at 3s/d, 232 amplitude
