ROLEX Daytona
« Patrizzi »
Ref. 16520
This type of « Zenith Daytona » were made famous in 2006 by auctioneer Osvaldo Patrizzi noticing the discoloration of his watch subdials. The protection from the zapon (varnish) on those subdials was not strong enough and made them oxidize under the combined effect of humidity and obscurity (typically occuring in vault). Black dials of serial S, T, W and some U have so far reacted that way.
