Description

New Old Stock       - When it comes to condition, there is only one condition which always wins, brand new, unworn, we call it New old Stock. We are offering a absolute impeccable example of a Rolex Submariner reference 5513. Like a miracle this watch remains unworn even after 44 years. The case is sharp like it came out of the factory today and is showing factory finishing from all sides and angles. The numbers between the lugs are crystal clear. The case back sticker with the reference is fully intact. The bezel remains sharp and crisp and holds the original insert which has turned to a matte black color, still holding the original pearl. The bracelet is matching and does not show any wear or stretch from age, is still fully linked. The clasp blades are still stiff and carry a 1977 year code. As if this was not already exciting already this watch carries the rare and collectible Pre-Comex dial with large lume plots. The 5513 is the reference with the strongest Rolex DNA from all watches and often considered the most iconic watch of all times. This Rolex 5513 is like a myth, it is hard to believe the condition until you hold it in your hands.

The Rolex Submariner

The Rolex Submariner is without a doubt one of the most successful Rolex models in history. Not only because it more than aptly served its purpose as diver’s watch, although I am pretty sure only a small number of Submariners has ever seen a spat of water. Its appearance in several James Bond movies certainly helped as well. If you omit functionality and marketing, the Submariner success is mainly due to its elegance as a timeless dress watch. It’s just one of those watches you keep looking at, regardless of wanting to know the time of day. The Submariner was launched in 1953 and officially presented at the Basel Fair in 1954.
