Examples like the present lot that are fitted with gilt dials are particularly sought after by collectors. This example has subtle details that make it highly desirable amongst collectors. The first of which is the underline above the 6 o'clock, signifying the use of tritium on the dial. The second are the pointy crown guards that add a robust appeal to the watch. Made circa 1963, this 5513 is in very appealing and original condition.
