Over its 15 years of production, the model saw different generations that distinguish themselves mainly by the crown guards shape or inscription on the dial. This variant features the most coveted 4 lines of gilt text on the glossy black dial. The present lot, a beautiful example of a Rolex Submariner reference 5512 with a glossy black dial.
