Lot Essay

The Rolex Submariner reference 5512 is considered an icon due to its clean and legible look. It, along with the reference 5513, also were a design improvement from their predecessors by adding “crown guards” to help prevent the stem and crown from being damaged by being hit directly against a hard object. The reference 5512 featured a chronometer-rated movement and text on the dial noting that designation whereas the reference 5513 was not rated as a chronometer.

The present Submariner reference 5512 is the watch many collectors dream about finding. It retains its 1967 charm through its well-preserved case, original bezel insert, original dial and hands.
