Specialist note

The present Submariner reference 5513 is noteworthy due to its retailers' signature and very good overall condition with crisp milling on the back and sharp outlines. Adorned with the prestigious retailer's name of Tiffany & Co. on the dial, it is a clean and well-preserved specimen of a late 1960s Rolex Submariner.
