Daytona Patrizzi Dial w/ Inverted 6 Subdial

[Buona23]

I own a 1993 black dial Daytona with a Patrizzi face that also has an inverted "6" lower subdial. I've rarely seen both attributes on the same watch, and I'm wondering what a good ballpark estimate would be for insurance purposes. The watch is in very good condition, with minor signs of wear.

Valuation requests are frowned upon here, but how about some photos?

I understand what you're saying. However, the reason for the ask is that I haven't seen any like models with both attributes on the same watch for comps. I am certainly not selling the piece. I don't see an option to upload images outside of setting up a URL site. I did upload an image as my Avatar.

I think you need 10 posts before you're allowed to post photos.

There are plenty of inverted 6 Daytonas online to research and get rough prices, and I'd be curious to see photos to determine whether your watch is a true Patrizzi. The sub-dials on all of the black 16520s seem to patina to a certain degree. A real Patrizzi shows a very specific characteristic that goes well beyond patina.

Here's my (former) 16520, U-serial, with a good amount of patina on the sub-dials, but this is not a Patrizzi.

For what I remember Patrizzi dial could be found on the Serial X - S - W so inverted "6" is plausible.
Many compass on black dials of that era have change color but as Swish said the Patrizzi have a specific charatteristic, so try to get to 10 post, hit the clip icon to manage the attachments and upload some photos please.

Need a close up pic…..box and papers?

It appears I need to get to 10 posts to be able to upload pics. Will do so once I hit that requirement. Happy to email a pic directly to someone in the meantime if that's allowed. I purchased the watch from Tourneau NYC back in 1997. Appreciate the feedback.

You can upload a picture now as long as the size requirements are adhered to. However, you cannot post a URL link until you have at least 10 posts. Use the "Go Advanced" button instead of "Post Quick Reply" and then click the paperclip icon to attach images. Follow he sizing requirements as indicated in the popup window for the various file formats. BTW, many here use Tapatalk app for posting images…

Very nice and definitely a patrizzi….I have an inverted 6 like yours and the bezel is doing the same thing with the numbers…….paint falling out on some letters and numbers and mine has never been polished…..

Yup, looks like a Patrizzi.

Thanks for confirmation

Here's the same mk/dial as yours. You can call it whatever you wish but there's definitely some patina / darkening on the sub dials like yours. The dial can be found on 1993 watches.

Are you saying this is a unique dial to 1993 modesl only?
