This early no-crown-guard Submariner features an original gilt chapter-ring dial, rotating timing bezel, acrylic crystal, and riveted Oyster bracelet. About the Rolex Submariner Ref. 5508 Introduced during the late 1950s, the reference 5508 represents one of the final Submariner references produced before Rolex adopted crown guards. Its balanced proportions, clean case profile, and gilt dial have made it one of the most desirable early Submariners among collectors. The reference is closely associated with the earliest James Bond films and has become one of the defining vintage Rolex sports watches of the period.
