Description
Great vintage Submariner which has been loved and worn over its life time. This second owner Rolex Submariner 5513 shows a lot of character from age. The case shows some wear from age but remains thick and even. The excellent MK4 Maxi dial has, for a 5513 Maxi, a unusually strong patina over time. The original domed plexi shows some scuffs and scratches but I deliberately haven't changed it as it shows the real charm of the watch .The correct insert shows some wear from age but is in good condition still bearing the original pearl. The overall vintage condition speaks for this piece which remains in very good quality and comes in a beautiful collectors full set with original papers, booklets and box.condition.

The GMT-Master was developed to meet the specific needs of airline pilots. It became the official watch of several airlines, among them the famous Pan American World Airways, better known as Pan Am. Its most distinguishing visual feature was the two-tone bezel which marked daytime from nighttime hours.
THE FIRST TRANSCONTINENTAL FLIGHTS
As intercontinental travel developed in the 1950s, airliners began to fly swiftly across several successive time zones. For the first time it became important to know the time in various places in the world, simultaneously. It was the dawn of the jet age, and Rolex responded with a watch to match the spirit of the times.
