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!
