The Rolex Cosmograph Daytona 116520 is already regarded as one of the most iconic and desirable chronographs ever produced. This exceptional example takes exclusivity to another level, having undergone a full custom hand engraving by internationally acclaimed American master engraver David Sheehan.
Unlike laser engraving or machine decoration, every intricate detail on this Daytona has been hand cut using traditional engraving techniques, requiring hundreds of hours of precision, patience, and artistry. David Sheehan is celebrated worldwide for his bespoke creations, with collectors commissioning him to transform luxury watches into one-of-a-kind heirlooms. His fully engraved projects can command between US$5,000 and US$20,000 for the engraving work alone, depending on the complexity of the design.
The result is a watch that is completely unique—no two engraved pieces are ever identical. Every surface of the case and bracelet has been meticulously sculpted, turning an already legendary Rolex into a true collector’s work of art.
Beneath its extraordinary exterior remains the legendary Rolex Daytona, powered by the reliable Rolex Calibre 4130 automatic chronograph movement. Renowned for its precision, durability, and robust construction, the 4130 has become one of the finest chronograph movements ever produced by Rolex.
For collectors seeking something beyond the ordinary, this isn’t simply another Daytona. It is a bespoke creation that blends the prestige of Rolex with the timeless artistry of traditional hand engraving. Rarely do watches of this calibre and individuality become available, making it an exceptional opportunity to own a true one-of-one collector’s piece crafted by one of the world’s most respected hand engravers.
