Rolex Submariner "Tulip Crown" 2-Line Gilt Chapter Ring Dial

Ref. 5512: An excellent example of an early 5512, this particular watch is characterized by its irregular shaped coronet, hence its name.

This particular example has a beautiful dial that is very glossy and has very little surface wear.
