Description from the seller

A beautifully preserved Rolex Air-King Precision reference 5500 from 1973, featuring its highly attractive original silver sunburst dial.

The dial remains in outstanding condition, with crisp printing, clean baton indexes and a strong sunburst finish that catches the light beautifully. The stainless steel case has been very well preserved over the years, retaining strong lines and an elegant profile.

Powered by Rolex’s reliable manual-wind movement, the watch runs well and keeps good time.
