Since the introduction of the Submariner in 1953, it has not only paved the way for how dive watches should be but has also defined how a sport watch should be. Over the years, the model has been worn by countless celebrities, sports legends and many noteworthy people that one can name. Among all Submariner references, the reference 5513 had the longest production years from 1962 to 1982, and for this reason, it had gained a prominent status among the Rolex society. However, even for the same reference, in the complex world of Vintage Rolex the smallest variance can make an enormous difference to the collectability of a watch.

The present watch is a very desirable example of the reference 5513 as it has an extremely rare 3-6-9 luminous hour marker that is only available for a small fraction of early Submariners. Furthermore, highlighted with a beautiful gilt dial and enhanced with lovely golden brown color text, this vintage Submariner watch demonstrates an exceptional charm which modern watches cannot propose. Being recognized as one of the greatest watch models of all time, the Rolex Submariner is without doubt a fascinating watch that will appeal to collectors of all categories.
