Rolex Submariner 5513 “Pre-Comex” – Highly Collectible Vintage Diver in Remarkable Condition

Rolex, a pioneer in luxury timepieces, is renowned for its precision, craftsmanship, and innovation in the world of horology. Among its most iconic models is the Submariner, a watch that set the standard for professional dive watches since its introduction in 1953. The Submariner 5513, produced from 1962 to 1989, is a particularly revered reference due to its long production run and association with significant milestones in diving history.

The “Pre-Comex” 5513, like this 1977 model, is a highly collectible variant, bridging the gap between the standard Submariner and the rare, professional-grade Comex editions. Known for its Maxi dial, which features larger hour markers, and robust build quality, this model holds a special place among vintage Rolex enthusiasts. The combination of its rarity, historical significance, and distinctive design makes the 5513 “Pre-Comex” a prized addition to any serious collection.
