1965 Rolex Submariner 5513 with Tropical Gilt Dial

Sold

“Tobacco and Rum”


Case: The previously polished case is excellent with prominent bevels and shows only light wear from use. The fat font bezel has aged to a light silver grey tone and shows light wear for its age.

Dial: The glossy gilt dial has aged to a warm tobacco brown tropical patina with an extensive and even spider-cracking patina. The lume has aged to a creamy hue and glow brightly when exposed to UV. The newer tritium handset has aged to a warm sandy hue and does not react when exposed to UV.

Bracelet: The near mint 11 link Oyster bracelet is excellent showing no perceivable stretch. The clasp is stamped with a 2009 date code and the factory protective sticker is still in place beneath the clasp.

Accessories: None.

Notes: The bezel and dial contrast and complement each other perfectly on this deeply tropical 5513.
