AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Offered is a highly attractive and collectible Rolex Air-King reference 5520 from 1975, presented in outstanding overall condition and featuring an exceptionally rare blue/grey sunburst dial.
The dial is the true highlight of this piece: preserved in NOS mint condition, with flawless surface, crisp printing and sharp applied gold indices. The tone shifts beautifully between slate blue and steel grey depending on light, giving the watch a refined yet distinctive presence. Far less common than the standard champagne or silver variants.
The gold-capped case remains strong with well-defined lugs and excellent proportions. A classic and elegant 1970s Air-King with increasing collector interest.
