The Rolex Submariner 14060, introduced in 1990, marked the end of the 5513’s 28-year production run and the transition to five-digit Submariner references. The 14060 brought several key updates—sapphire crystal, the calibre 3000 movement, and a unidirectional bezel—significantly improving functionality and robustness while retaining the Submariner’s clean, no-date, symmetrical look. In 1999, another change arrived: the M (modified) version was introduced and carried the reference through until 2012.
This example dates to 2002 and is a particularly nice one. The case has been lightly polished in the past, with barely any visible marks.
