This 1968 Rolex Submariner 5513 pairs an untouched matte Meters First dial with an original fat-font bezel insert that has developed an even petrol-blue patina. A recently fitted new old stock super dome acrylic crystal completes its distinctive vintage profile.
The watch is in exceptional condition. Its clean, corrosion-free case retains evenly thick lugs, while the original dated caseback remains sharp and screws down perfectly. A newer Rolex Oyster bracelet, reference 93150 with 580 end links, is fitted and is in perfect condition.
Fully serviced, timed and tuned by Certified Professional Watchmaker during 2025, this example is delivered with a one-year technical warranty.
