Rolex Submariner (No Date) "James Bond" ref.5508 from 1959
This is a Rolex Submariner (No Date) "James Bond" ref.5508 from 1959. A Vintage Rolex Oyster Perpetual Submariner ‘James Bond’ Wrist Watch with Small Crown- Ref. 5508 - c. 1959 A rare and highly-prized piece of watchmaking history, this vintage Rolex Oyster Perpetual Submariner wristwatch (Rolex reference 5508) dates all the way back to 1959! Four years later, Sean Connery would wear a slightly different version of the Submariner (ref. 6538) as James Bond in ‘Dr No’ - the very first Bond film ever made. This earned the watch its ‘James Bond’ nickname and Connery was also seen wearing a Submariner in subsequent installments (including ‘Thunderball’ and ‘From Russia with Love,’) forever linking the model with the iconic British spy. A much desired and sought after collectible, the watch has a serial number of 400xxx, dating it to 1959 and is a small crown version of the Submariner (a larger crown version was also produced). Powered by a Rolex 1530 calibre movement with 25 jewels, the watch is sold on a period correct (1963) stainless steel bracelet, which perfectly complements the sublime and unpolished stainless steel case. An absolute delight! This Rolex has undergone a thorough inspection of water resistance, accuracy, functionality and condition to determine the level of reconditioning required to meet our strict standards. It has also been referenced against technical documents and manufacturer records where available to ensure authenticity and a clean history. Watches are covered by 14 day Money Back Guarantee and a 12 Month Warranty so buy in confidence. We have many other Watches in stock so please feel free to look at our other listings. |
