1981 Rolex Submariner Maxi MK4 Unpolished Ref. 5513
The Unpolished - Absolute incredible example of a 5513 Submariner with Maxi MK4 dial. This watch seems to have been worn very sparingly and must have been tucked away for most of its life. The condition of the entire watch harmonizes in all of its components, the sharpness of the unpolished case, bracelet and bezel gives it a very strong and powerful look rounded up by a flawless dial with a vivid vanilla patina. The most iconic tool watch of all times, the 5513 is also one of the most beautiful watches, in this condition.
