RolexSubmariner

KEY FACTS

• Manufactured from 1962 to 1989, the 5513 is amongst the longest continually-produced watch lines in Rolex’s celebrated history
• Widely praised for its simple aesthetic, the 5513 was the last ‘no-date’ Submariner to be offered with an acrylic crystal and a matte dial
• Designed to be a more accessible no-nonsense version of Rolex’s iconic dive watch, the 5513 is driven by the non-chronometer certified calibre 1520; a self-winding movement with a 48-hour power reserve
• The absence of the ‘Superlative Chronometer Officially Certified’ script on the dial affords the 5513 with a cleaner, ‘two-line’ aesthetic
• With its long production period, the 5513 had many dial variations and this 1966 example benefits from a gilt dial, favoured by collectors for its appealing colour tone
• A screw-down crown and Oyster case offered this 1966 example 200 metres of waterproofness at the time of its production
• Offered by a trade seller in the United Kingdom
• Presented with its display box, outer sleeve, a counterfeit busters report, and a certificate of authenticity from The Watch Registry
• ​Graded as ‘Vintage’ with the vendor who advises that the watch is in good working order
• The watch has wear commensurate with age including marks and blemishes on the case and bracelet
• The case shows signs of refinishing and the hands and markers have clearly visible patina and age-related degradation

All watches offered for sale are searched and cleared against The Watch Register database and a certificate is available to the winning bidder upon request.
