1972 Rolex Submariner (Ref. 5513) "Pumpkin Spice" Serif Dial W/ Guarantee Paper
The Rolex Submariner reference 5513 is the embodiment of the classic dive watch. The 5513 is simple yet sophisticated and rugged. The ref. 5513 was first introduced in 1962 and ceased production in late 1989. The ref. 5513 is a purpose-built dive watch that lacks the date function like other Rolex Submariner models. (eg. ref. 1680.)
This 1972 Rolex Submariner ref. 5513 features a stunning "Serif" dial that boasts a vivid "Pumpkin Spice" patina in the lume. The overall aesthetic of this watch is everything we love about vintage submariners. This Rolex Submariner reference 5513 would make a great daily driver as it's appropriate for any style and setting.
