Literature For another example of a reference 16520 Daytona with ‘ tropical ’ registers , please see The Ultimate Rolex Daytona by Pucci Papaleo , page 556 to 559 .
This Daytona features ‘ tropical ’ registers which , over time , have turned from white to a light brown tone . While one may expect a Daytona from the 1960s to have this effect , automatic Daytonas from 1993 to 1997 also turned tropical due to the pigment Rolex used . This watch has been preserved in excellent condition with full proportions and a crisp case . It is furthermore delivered as a full set with guarantee , product literature , wallet , fitted presentation box and outer packaging .
