Patrizzi Daytona Zenith 16520 Price

The black Daytona W series Ref 16520s' made between 1994 and 1995.

Rolex used an organic varnish called Zapon to protect the dial.

Unrecognized at that time, the lacquer did not provide sufficient coverage and, over the years, the silver dials have started to oxidize, turning a definite brown colour as they react with UV rays and heat.

Even more importantly for collector, the changes do not stabilize and continue to take effect the older the watch gets.

This is what we called Patrizzi dials. They are unique, in the world of classic Rolex, unique equals to expensive!

The above one is one example of W series (1995), yet going into very "Patrizzi"!

The changing of colour takes time, years and that degree of brownie dial will add value to the watch to a degree of TWO times?

So this is another fun collector item of Daytona Zenith 16520 Series "W" after you have the last series A or P...

Price range between HK$220,000 to HK$550,000 assuming full set and AA condition.  (Price of Today 25 June 2019)

Daytona Zenith appreciate 9 times in value over the 18 years

一隻地通娜手錶的價值十八年漲了九倍

What is the best investment regarding riskless over the past 18 years?

I cannot say it is not Rolex!
This is an example .
A Daytona zenith Ref 16520 was sold at SRP $63,000 well I am sure you could get a discount of ten that was $56,700!

After 18 years that is today.
You can sell it at HK$4500,000 to HK$520,000 of course your watch should be in mint condition full set!
That is 9 times the price you bought!

What is next?

Well I am looking good at some of the rare species such as DD with Special dial, special dial GMT or Submariner.

But these are already rare. So by now I keep some of these in my safe

Submariner Kermit 16610LV full set
HULK NOS 116610LV
Batman 116710BLNR
GMT PEPSI 116710BLRO
I rather put Daytona aside coz it is already untouchable now, but if you have I should pay a Salute to you
This is purely My idea only!
What do you think?
