Introduced by Rolex in 1962 as a non-COSC certified alternative to the reference 5512, the Submariner 5513 embodies the pure essence of the vintage diver. This splendid piece features a dial characterized by the "Meters First" graphic layout, where the depth rating displays meters before feet (200m=660ft).

The watch offered here showcases a stunning gilt dial where time and exposure to the elements have resulted in an exceptional color change: the glossy lacquer has uniformly evolved into a warm, intense brown "Tropical" tone, beautifully enhancing the luster of the golden graphics and the strong, aged patina of the hour markers.
