The rarity of the 'APH' dial is because of two features: firstly, the unusual, small gap in the word 'COSMOGR APH' on the dial, giving rise to the name 'APH'; and secondly, the very limited numbers of this model that were produced - making the Daytona 116520 APH a must-have watch for any serious watch collector. Moreover, when the watch is accompanied by its Rolex Warranty Card, as this example is, it goes without saying that its value is likely to increase every year.

Dimensions: 40mm.

Estimated at £18,000 - £20,000
