Specialist note

While the vast majority of reference 5513 Rolex Submariners feature a matte black dial, early examples were produced with attract gloss black dial and gilt printing, which over time can age in various ways. The example offered here retains its original dial, which has acquired a crazed pattern to the surface over the years.
For another example of a gilt dial reference 5513, see lot 2846.
