VIP: Samuel Eto'o
Description: Stainless steel Rolex Cosmograph Daytona with a "Patrizzi" dial
Brand: Rolex
Ref: 16520
List Price: unknown
Market Price (estimated): €30.000

Samuel Eto’o, former football player and luxury timepiece enthusiast, is often seen donning a stunning stainless steel Rolex Cosmograph Daytona with a unique "Patrizzi" dial. However, over time, the once bright white sub-dials of the "Patrizzi" Daytonas have been known to turn beige or even brown. This change in color is a result of the poor application of protective paint and affects all ref. 16520s, but is most prevalent in the W, S and T serial numbers.

Rolex has acknowledged this issue, and affected watches have been subject to a recall or substitution. Despite this, some still arrive at authorized dealers with already oxidized sub-dials. These watches are considered rare and have a price premium, with a market price of around €30,000.

For those seeking a unique and valuable timepiece, the Rolex Cosmograph Daytona with the "Patrizzi" dial is a great option. However, buyers should be aware of the potential for sub-dial discoloration and should ensure they are purchasing from a reputable source. With proper care and maintenance, this stunning watch can be a treasured addition to any collection.
