One of the rarest versions of the Rolex Submariner, the reference 5512 with square crown guards, launched in 1959, replaced earlier models without crown guards to protect the crown from impact and water damage. It is thought that less than 100 examples of the Submariner with square crown guards were made; only about 30 are known to the market. Because of the damage the square guards caused to diver wetsuits, Rolex quickly replaced the square guards with ones with rounded crown guards. This rare collector's item will be offered with a starting bid of $75,000, and an estimate of $100,000-$150,000.Click here for more information.
