Rolex - 1966 ref. 5513 Gilt Submariner
Rolex’s Gilt tool watches are the marquee’s golden-era (no pun intended). Golden text is actually the dial’s brass exposed by negative relief through the careful masking of text while black lacquer is pressed onto the surface. This 5513’s dial remains glossy, gilt text untouched, golden lume.
Case: 40mm Stainless Steel, Appears Unpolished
