Description

The Rolex Air-King 5500, introduced in 1957, is one of the most iconic and longest-produced Rolex models, known for its minimalist design and aviation heritage. Crafted with a 34mm stainless steel Oyster case, it offers a sleek, versatile aesthetic that suits both casual and formal wear. Unlike many Rolex models, the Air-King lacks a date function, emphasizing a clean and highly legible dial.

The dial options vary, with configurations including silver, black, blue, and champagne, often featuring simple baton or Arabic numeral hour markers. The Acrylic crystal enhances its vintage appeal, while the Oyster bracelet ensures a comfortable fit.

Powering the Air-King 5500 is either the Rolex Caliber 1520 or 1530, both automatic self-winding movements known for their robustness, though some versions were not COSC-certified. The watch is water-resistant up to 50 meters, making it durable for everyday wear.

With its understated elegance, historical significance, and enduring reliability, the Air-King 5500 remains a highly sought-after timepiece among collectors and vintage Rolex enthusiasts.
