Vintage Rolex Military Submariner - Double ref. 5513/5517

We are delighted to offer a rare Full Specification Double Reference 5513/5517 Rolex Milsub acquired directly from the family of the original owner,

The Double Reference Milsubs feature the 5513 model reference between the lugs at 6:00 and Military 5517 model ref on the back of the lug at 07:00. Produced in a short batch of 80 watches, they are highly sort after by vintage Rolex collectors.

This particular example is presented on a grey Rolex Admirality strap and found in exceptional original condition with correct caseback engravings, matching serial numbers, military fixed bars & 60 minute bezel. The original Military T Dial is untouched with a great patina, & matching sword hands with their original lume.

The issue numbers are the earliest we have on record for a 5513/5517.
