A well-preserved 5513 with the kind of provenance collectors appreciate. Produced in 1984 and purchased new in 1986, this vintage Rolex Submariner Ref. 5513 has remained with its original owner from new and retains its original accessories and documentation. The 40mm stainless steel case retains strong, well-defined lines, crisp crown guards, and preserved chamfers, with surface wear consistent with its age and use. The glossy black lacquer dial features applied hour markers outlined in 18k white gold, while the original tritium plots have developed an attractive warm, creamy patina. A domed plexiglass crystal completes the classic vintage Submariner profile. Powering the watch is the dependable Rolex Caliber 1520 automatic movement, with approximately 48 hours of power reserve. The watch is fitted with its original Rolex 93150 Oyster bracelet, 580 end links, and J7 clasp code dating to July 1985, appropriate for the watch’s 8.780 million serial range. The single-owner history adds considerable appeal. The case back is engraved “J.A.C.,” matching the name recorded on the original warranty papers. The case and bracelet show honest surface wear from use, adding character without detracting from the overall presentation. The domed crystal remains free of significant damage. The bracelet is fitted with 10 links installed with a dive extension, and one additional link is included, not installed, as pictured. This 5513 is offered as a set, including its original Rolex display box, Submariner booklet, operating manual, Chronometer hangtag, and international warranty papers dated June 1986. For the collector, it is the combination of strong originality, documented single-owner provenance, period correct components, and honest aging that makes this 5513 particularly compelling.
