Key Details To Consider

This vintage Rolex Submariner Ref. 5513 features the sought-after “meters first” matte dial, dating to 1968 with a 2.2 million serial. The dial remains in very good condition—clean and free of major marks—retaining its original tritium lume.

The stainless steel case shows signs of honest wear from years of use but maintains its original lines and proportions. A standout feature is the beautifully aged bezel insert, which has faded to a unique blue hue that complements the watch with a strong vintage presence.

The original riveted Oyster bracelet includes all 12 links and displays very little stretch, which is uncommon for a bracelet of this age.

All case numbers are visible and intact. The movement has been serviced, and watch has been pressure tested 3 ATM (30m). This piece comes complete with its original Rolex box and papers—a rare bonus for collectors.
