Vintage Rolex 5513 Submariner For Sale from 1968 / 1969

Here we have a Vintage Rolex 5513 Submariner For Sale from 1968 / 1969.

Excellent matte dialed vintage Rolex Submariners from the late 60’s really can be something special.

They seem to fade their dials to a beautiful charcoal grey and their hour plots to a lovely contrasting cream/light yellow.

They really age well, especially if in excellent condition like this one.

Add to that an exquisite fat font bezel insert and you have a classic wearable vintage Rolex Submariner you will never get tired of looking at!

A 2.4m serial dates this to 1968/1969 and all numbers are clearly visible between the lugs.

This Rolex 5513 has a 100% mint dial and hands combination, so rare to find in a watch now over 40 years old and with a fat case with Rolex beveled lugs it really is a top example. Added to that a service done in 2011 and it is keeping great time. Comes on an original 9315 folded link bracelet and in a rare triangle top late 60’s leather sports box with green felt slashcard.

I’ll let the pictures do the talking…
