1972 Rolex Submariner Ref. 5513 – Maxi Dial – Feet First
A true collector’s piece, this 1972 Rolex Submariner Ref. 5513 embodies the essence of vintage dive watch charm. Featuring a Maxi Dial with “feet first” depth rating, this example stands out with its beautifully aged patina on both the hands and hour markers, giving it an unmistakable character.
The maxi dial remains in exceptional condition considering its over 50 years old! Rich patina offers a warm contrast against the creamy lume plots that have developed a stunning vintage glow.
The thin font bezel insert is a later-era replacement, complementing the watch’s naturally worn aesthetics while maintaining its authentic Submariner DNA. Housed in a 40mm stainless steel case, the thick lugs and original chamfers are still well-defined, reflecting the careful wear of its five decades of history. Inside, the reliable Rolex Caliber 1520 movement keeps time as flawlessly as it did when it left the factory.
Whether you're a seasoned collector or a first-time buyer looking for an investment-worthy vintage Submariner, this 1972 Rolex 5513 delivers timeless appeal, historical significance, and undeniable wrist presence.

2 years newer than what I was looking for and in my same budget, it took him 5 hours max to find it. He also had it at my door less than 24 hours later.My experience with this company was exceptional, when I need a new piece in the future, I'm coming to Biel watches.
