Rolex Air-King Ref. 5500

Size: 34mm
Year: 1960s
Movement: Automatic  

 SOLD 

A clean and classic early Air-King from 1963, featuring the desirable “Super Precision” configuration.

This example has a beautiful silver sunburst dial with applied gilt markers and matching handset, all showing light, even ageing. The dial remains well balanced with no major distractions.

Housed in a 34mm stainless steel Oyster case, the proportions are spot on for a vintage daily. The case shows honest wear consistent with age, retaining strong lines throughout.

Powered by the automatic Rolex calibre 1530, a reliable and robust movement that has long underpinned the Air-King line.
