Rolex Submariner Tiffany Gilt Dial Reference 5512

This Rolex Submariner reference 5512 is a very special example with a gilt dial and retailer-signed dial by Tiffany & Co. It features a very well preserved dial with open-chapter ring. The watch has a 1.6M serial dating to circa 1967. It is paired on a C&I Rivet bracelet that was recently added and dates to 1975. The case is polished but is very attractive. It features a long 5 bezel insert which was recently added.

According to Rolex, the Submariner reference 5512’s production consisted of 17,338 examples. The Submariner reference 5513’s production consisted of a much larger amount, 151,449 examples! Both Eric and Charlie 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).

This watch does not come with box and papers. We do not know the service history, but it is running well. The watch recently passed a water resistance test of 5 bar.

For those looking for an incredible retailer-signed reference 5512, look no further!
