·Rolex Submariner 5513
Age of the watch: Approx. 1972 (serial 2.9m)
Price: €12,950, shipment to be discussed
For sale: a 5513 Submariner with an extremely thick case and beautiful patina. It was sold to me as unpolished—whether that is truly the case is hard to determine after 50 years, but please refer to the photos to assess the condition of the case and the watch. I recently acquired another 5513, which is why this one is up for sale.
Dial: A very clean Serif dial with stunning patina on both the hands and the dial. All lume plots are intact and have developed a lovely golden-yellow hue.
Case: Extremely thick case with all bevels still present. The back of the lugs also retains the “kink” that is typically lost when a watch is polished. The area around the case back remains thick, with no signs of polishing or thinning. I have included some extra detailed photos.
Hands: Matches the dial with the same beautiful yellow patina.
Movement: Runs and winds smoothly. According to the dealer I purchased it from last summer, it was serviced. I believe there is still warranty coverage until June/July of this year.
Bracelet: A newer 93150 bracelet with minimal stretch. The photo shows the maximum stretch.
As seen in the photos, this is an exceptionally well-preserved 5513 with a very thick case.
No returns. More photos available upon request.
Preference for cash, but in case of trade, I prefer Rolex, Omega, or a vintage chronograph
