The Rolex Submariner 5513 was introduced in 1962 and quickly became a cornerstone of the brand’s dive watch legacy. Built for durability and clarity underwater, it featured a no-date dial and evolved through subtle design changes over its 27-year production run. From gilt dials to matte finishes, the 5513 is prized for its vintage charm and tool-watch purity. Discontinued in 1989, it remains a favourite among collectors for its classic proportions and iconic simplicity.

Price on Application

Due to the rarity and collectability of this particular Rolex 5513 with the highly sought-after underline dial, we have chosen not to display the price publicly. We welcome serious enquiries and will be happy to discuss pricing upon request. This approach ensures discretion and allows us to provide more context regarding the watch’s provenance and market position. Please don’t hesitate to get in touch for further details.

What's on Offer

We are delighted to offer this truly remarkable Rolex Submariner 5513, manufactured in 1963 and sold in 1964—retained by a single owner ever since. A rare opportunity to acquire a New Old Stock (NOS) example of one of Rolex’s most iconic references.

This piece features a stunning gilt gloss dial with the desirable ‘underline’ marking, denoting a transitional period in luminous material use. The dial is in superb condition, boasting a naturally aged caramel patina that’s even and richly warm across all plots.

Adding to its early charm are the pointed crown guards, found only on the earliest 5513s, giving this example historical significance and collectability in equal measure. Housed in a sharp stainless steel case with thick lugs and its original rotating bezel, the watch retains its purposeful Submariner aesthetic while offering outstanding vintage character.
