Both Eric and I were quite astonished at the number of 5512 Submariners produced being a mere 17,338, as we assumed it was much larger - in the tens of thousands. In simplified terms, there was only just about one 5512 produced for every ten 5513s produced (or 11.4% specifically).
Finding well preserved gilt Submariner models is incredibly difficult. This is truly one of the most special and attractive gilt Submariner reference 5512s we have come across.
