1984 Rolex Submariner 5513 WGS Gloss Lacquer Dial - $13,299
We’re thrilled to offer this stunning vintage Rolex Submariner reference 5513, an iconic dive watch that perfectly captures the essence of 1980s Rolex design. Produced in 1984, this sought-after neo-vintage configuration beautifully blends the Submariner’s rugged tool-watch heritage with subtle luxury refinements. The 40mm stainless steel case is fitted with a glossy black lacquer dial featuring applied hour markers outlined in 18k white gold, enhancing both legibility and visual depth. The original tritium lume plots have aged into a warm, custard-colored patina, giving the watch the character and charm collectors look for in well-preserved vintage examples. Protecting the dial is domed plexiglass crystal, adding to its unmistakable vintage appeal. Powering the watch is the reliable Rolex Caliber 1520 automatic movement with approximately 48 hours of power reserve. The watch is paired with its original Rolex 93150 Oyster bracelet with 593 end links and an “I5” clasp code dating to May 1984, correctly matching the case’s 8.57 million serial range. This example shows honest wear consistent with age while remaining in very good overall condition, featuring strong case lines, crisp crown guards, preserved chamfers, and minimal bracelet stretch. The bracelet includes dive extension and 10 links accommodating a maximum wrist size of 17.5cm or 6.9”.
