Rolex Submariner Ref.: 5512

Price on request

This 1978 Rolex Submariner 5512 is considered by collectors to be the true “Steve McQueen” Submariner. It is indeed this exact reference that Steve McQueen wore toward the end of his life, between 1976 and 1982, during his adventures—particularly while riding motorcycles. His own 5512 came up at auction in the early 2000s for a very high price, definitively establishing this reference as the McQueen Submariner.

The example presented here is an authentic mid-to-late 1970s model, in strictly original condition: correct riveted bracelet with the proper reference, a perfect dial with original luminous material, and a lightly polished case that retains strong, well-defined proportions. Known at the time as the “Deluxe” Submariner, the 5512 is a no-date Submariner fitted with a chronometer-certified movement, placing it at the very top of the range.

Rarer and historically more significant than the 5513, the 5512 embodies both the elite of the Submariner line and Rolex’s free-spirited 1970s ethos. An iconic, charismatic watch, rich in history.

 

 

Cette Rolex Submariner 5512 de 1978 est considérée par les collectionneurs comme la véritable “Steve McQueen”. C’est en effet cette référence précise que Steve McQueen portait à la fin de sa vie, entre 1976 et 1982, lors de ses aventures, notamment à moto. Sa propre 5512 est passée aux enchères au début des années 2000 à un prix très élevé, consacrant définitivement cette référence comme la Submariner McQueen par excellence.

L’exemplaire présenté ici est un modèle authentique du milieu / fin des années 1970, strictement d’origine : bracelet blindé avec la bonne référence, cadran parfait avec matière lumineuse d’origine, et boîtier peu poli conservant de très beaux volumes. Surnommée à l’époque la Submariner “Deluxe”, la 5512 est une Submariner sans date mais équipée d’un mouvement certifié chronomètre, ce qui la plaçait au sommet de la gamme.

Plus rare et historiquement plus forte qu’une 5513, cette 5512 incarne à la fois l’élite des Submariner et l’esprit libre des années 1970 chez Rolex. Une montre iconique, charismatique, et chargée d’histoire.
