Spotted in Paris: Rolex Submariner 5513 Gilt from 1966.
I like Rolex Submariners, without being an unconditional fan as I can be for the GMT-MASTER, for example.
But when you fall on such a specimen, in such a condition, you must confess a strong attraction.
You are looking at a Submariner 5513, from 1966, with an impeccable deep glossy black dial, which is deliciously gilt, and, cherry on the cake, a very nice patina of the indices and hands.
Another strong point, the case, which looks in excellent shape.
The last surprise? This watch comes with its box and papers!
A time capsule.
I had to pass on it, and it is very sad. Because this one is really heartwarming.
Best,
Nicolas
