The Rolex Submariner is a highly collectible watch . First introduced in 1954 , the Submariner has evolved throughout the years with different case designs and dial configurations . This reference 5513 , manufactured in 1964 , is fitted with a beautifully rich black lacquer dial with gilt printing and its luminous numerals and hands have aged beautifully to a warm orange tone . The case still retains good proportions and is overall in very attractive and original condition .
