Accessories: Main unit only
Retail price: 5,478,000 yen (tax included)

The fourth-generation Submariner "Ref. 5513" is a long-selling model with a production period of approximately 27 years.

This model was developed around 1963 as a Diffusion model that was not chronometer certified, as opposed to the chronometer-equipped "Ref. 5512".

This model has undergone various minor changes and is extremely popular among vintage Rolexes, but the one we have in stock this time is an early production model.
It has a glossy finish commonly known as a "gilt dial."

"Gilt (mirror) dial"

A glossy dial was available on models manufactured up until around 1967.
Among the vintage models that have a beautiful mirror-like shine,
This is a rare dial with extremely limited availability.

The stepped gold lettering and minute lines are also features of the gilt dial. It is a dial with a refined beauty that is different from current Rolexes!

"Underline"

If you look closely at this mirror dial , you will notice a thin "━" called an underline under the SUBMARINER inscription .

It is said that this dial is one of the early adopters of tritium and indicates that radioactive materials are below the prescribed standard.

The dial has some small scratches,
The luster is still there and it is in very good condition.

The luminous index has some chipping and dirt,
In good condition!

This is a rare two-shot with the 5513 Gilt/Underline (left) in stock at our store.

Both have beautiful gilt dials.

Mirror dials with underlines are prone to deterioration.
Of the many specimens we received, it was honestly surprising to find two in such perfect condition !!

The dial condition of the one on the left is slightly better,
The condition of the needle is better on this first model.

Even with the same model, the color of the bezel insert may vary.
Vintage models are interesting because they completely change the atmosphere!

This particular piece has an exquisitely gray-aged insert that gives it a very atmospheric look, and the contrast with the jet black dial is incredibly cool!

*Luminous points are aftermarket products.

The bezel insert, unique to this era, is also attractive!
It features 40 slim memory slots.

The three gold-colored aged hands are also exquisite!
The combination of gold letters and gold hands makes this look really cool!

The condition of the luminous hands is also good.

Pointed crown guard (PCG)
The crown guard, also known as the crown guard, is a characteristic of this era and has a lot of character!

The condition is that there are scratches from use,
The case and bracelet are sturdy and well made.

The middle case is thick and not overly finished.

A rivet bracelet is an essential feature for a model of this age!

The buckle is engraved with the first period of 1969.

The rivet bracelet has some natural warping due to later years, but is still sturdy.

Wrist shot! So cool!!

The silver underline subtly on the jet black gilt dial is just amazing!!
