Arguably the most popular Submariner ever, the Rolex Submariner 5513 is a classic timepiece that was in production from 1962 to 1989, one of the longest production Submariner ever made.

This particular model features the iconic pointed crown guards that first appeared with the 5513 reference before being replaced by rounded guards in later models.

This specific example dates back to 1969 and is powered by the renowned calibre 1520 movement. While it is not chronometer certified, this model is distinguished by its minimalistic two-line text dial, offering a clean and streamlined appearance. 

The dial is a 'Non Serif' variant, introduced in late 1969, transitioning from the earlier 'Meters First' dials to the 'Feet First' dials. The hour markers at 3, 6, and 9 o’clock are uniquely shaped rectangles without serifs, providing a distinctive look. Interestingly, the 'Non Serif' dial features serifs in the letter 'E' of 'Rolex' beneath the coronet, a detail that sets it apart from its 'Serif' counterparts. This original dial example has aged tremendously, forming a pumpkin-like patina with gorgeous oxidised hands. Paired with its original early MK3 “Ghost” bezel insert, this is one to drool for.

Complete with its original box, accessories & undated Argentina warranty card, this classic Submariner is not only a functional timepiece but also a vital piece of horological history. Dive in to the deep & own this iconic one of a kind timepiece!
