Rolex - speedking - 4220 - Unisex - 1900-1949

B. HISTORY of the Model, Men's/Unisex.
A piece of Rolex history, the Speedking made its first appearance in the 1940s and brought with it a classic design that is just as relevant today as it was when it first debuted. It was named after the “King of Speed” Sir Malcolm Campbell, a Rolex fan and breaker of speed records.

The quality and condition of this particular movement are nothing short of breathtaking, and it functions perfectly, running reliably and with excellent amplitude. By the late 1940s, Rolex had developed their production processes to almost an art form, and looking at this mechanism now with an eyeglass, we would find it difficult to class it as anything less than a working sculpture. When studying a vintage Rolex movement from the 1940s or early 1950s, particularly when found in this almost mint, gleaming order, it really brings home just how remarkable these older calibres were, and how much pride and traditional craftsmanship went into them in comparison with that found in today’s luxury watches.
