Description

Stainless steel Rolex Submariner ref. 5513. This 1966 Rolex Submariner Ref. 5513 remains in very good overall condition. While the watch shows signs of use, it retains a thick case with its original finish. The rivet bracelet has been professionally restored and now exhibits no stretch at all. The gilt dial, bearing subtle aging marks, has developed an attractive vintage patina, enhancing its character. The lume on both the markers and hands is entirely original. Powered by the self-winding Caliber 1520 movement, this timepiece is a testament to the enduring appeal of vintage Rolex watches that have been well-worn and well-loved over the years.

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.
