The Rolex Submariner is one of the most iconic watches of all time. This reference 5513 features a 1.6M serial number dating to circa 1967. It is paired with a Gay Frères rivet bracelet dating to 1967. It has the correct 80 end-links. This example features a “meters first” matte dial with very attractive tritium lume. It has been polished but is strong.
