Rolex MilSub Submariner Reference 5513 Royal Navy

The Rolex Submariner is one of the most iconic watches ever produced and they have a cult like following. Many collectors cherish the earliest designs of the 1950s, while some prefer the quintessential design to be Submariners with crown guards which was introduced with the reference 5512/5513 case references. Of the most desired Submariners, models such as the “James Bond” or “Big Crown” come to mind, alongside the elusive “MilSub” models.

We are thrilled to offer this Rolex MilSub reference 5513 issued to the Royal Navy. The case has been lightly polished, but is very attractive. The watch features a 3.9M serial dating to circa 1975 and features an issued engraving on the case back dating to 1975. It is paired on a nylon strap, with fixed springbars. It features the original rare “sword” hands for military specifications. There are approximately 1,110 MilSub examples produced across three references (5513, the double reference 5513/5517, and 5517) of which there are approximately 300 known.

The watch does not include box and papers. We do not know the service history, but it is running well.

F.P.Journe Tourbillon Souverain in Steel 38mm Unpolished

F.P.Journe has become one of the most sought after and beloved independent watchmakers.

This Tourbillon Souverain in stainless steel measures 38mm. It was the final tourbillon made in a 38mm diameter case. It is one of only 38 examples - which were produced and sold in a set of five watches in circa 2015. We believe the case is unpolished. It is powered by the manual-winding calibre 1498. These five steel models were the only steel mechanical watches ever made by F.P.Journe making them extremely collectible. These models had a specific matte yellow dial only made within this set. The Tourbillon Souverain is easily the most desirable and valuable of the 5 models from the set.

The watch does not come with box and papers (as it was sold alongisde a set of set of 5 watches). We do not know the service history, but it is running well.

The case has been lightly polished, but is very attractive. It measures 34mm in diameter. The watch features a 746,XXX serial dating to circa 1952. The crown is a replacement.
