Item Details
Description
A 5513 is for sure one of, if not the most, essential reference for vintage Rolex watch collectors nowadays. The everyday time piece which seems to never lose its magic appeal as a tool watch has unmistakably turned in an absolute icon over the years.

This example from 1966 boast a very rare occurrence, 6th quarter production stamping. Most probable a striking error from Rolex.
The matte black “Meters First†dial is in great condition with no discoloration. The hands luminous has darken considerably leaving us to believe that moisture played a part in the decision to have the lume plots scrapped off, seeing they might have become very unsightly black spots.

The black MK2 Fat Font “Long 5†insert is in excellent condition with only 1 very small nick/chip on the inner edge to the left of the missing pearl marker. The domed acrylic crystal is ever so slightly “iced†and can only be observed at the right angle. This is a remarkable patina feature considering that the crystal remains clear and appears mint.

Case, crown guards & twin lock crown have probably seen some polish over the years as the beveled edges of the case has mostly disappeared.
