Why We Love it

As the successor to the iconic Reference 5513, the Reference 14060 embodies the spirit of the original no-date Submariner with perfect dial symmetry, function-first design, and legendary build quality.

Early 14060 models such as this one utilized Tritium luminous material, while later references moved to Luminova. Interestingly, all 14060 models have “holey lugs” - an element of vintage design that makes it much easier for owners to change straps and bracelets with minimal effort. The 14060 is also the last reference No-Date Submariner to use the classically proportioned tapered 39mm Oyster case, marking the end of an era, and making it a true Neo-Vintage classic!

This particular example, an S-serial dating to circa 1993, features an excellent holey lug Oyster case, a unidirectional rotating dive timing bezel that is showing early signs of fade with a deep navy blue taking form, a glossy black Tritium dial with a matching handset, and a solid like Oyster bracelet with a signed fliplock clasp.

Furthermore, this piece is accompanied by much of its goodies!

All in all, an outstanding package worth of any collection!

...with no waiting list!

Brand Story

+
Though much younger than many of its heavy-hitting horological cousins, Rolex has been at the fore of contemporary watch design virtually since its inception in 1905 by founder Hans Wilsdorf. A veritable marketing genius, Wilsdorf understood the power of story, associating his watches with the most notable and intrepid athletes, explorers, soldiers and politicians of the 20th century. His efforts were clearly successful: Today, the word “Rolex” is nearly synonymous in the minds of millions around the word with “watch.”

From the early waterproof Oyster case of the 1920s through to the ultra-complicated Sky Dweller of today, Rolex models and innovations have captivated a global audience and permeated the zeitgeist unlike those of any other brand. Whether it’s a simple, time-only Air King, a function-first Submariner or a complicated GMT Master II for the jet set, a Rolex commands a certain respect on the wrist and says something about the discerning eye of its owner.

From the swimming of the English channel in 1927 to the scaling of Mt. Everest in 1953, Rolex watches have been associated with adventure for the better part of a century. Despite its association since the 1970s more with luxury and status than with commando operations behind enemy lines or sporting achievements, Rolex still makes one of the most robust timepieces available on the contemporary market. And the company continues to support scientific endeavors around the world.

Interestingly, for most of the firm’s history, Rolex largely did not produce its components in-house, including its movements. (Indeed, hand-wound Daytonas sold today at auction for eye-watering prices feature run-of-the-mill Valjoux movements that feature in watches from hundreds of other brands). It wasn’t until the early 21st century that Rolex became the vertically integrated manufacturing behemoth that it is today, purchasing everything from movement manufacturers to bracelet companies. (Notably, the Crown even forges its own gold.)

Whether one is attracted to the rich history of the brand or simply finds its products notable from an investment perspective, Rolex is a company whose wares are guaranteed to remain a benchmark for horological quality forever.
