Description from the seller
A beautiful vintage example of the Rolex Air-King Ref. 5500, featuring a particularly rare and attractive Blue Linen dial. Unlike the standard blue dial, this version displays a distinctive textured linen finish that gives the dial considerable depth and character.
The stainless-steel case is presented in unpolished condition, retaining its original proportions, sharp case lines and authentic vintage finish.
The original dial remains highly attractive but shows some age-related imperfections. There is minor micro damage/marks on the dial surface, as well as a more noticeable area of wear/damage toward the upper-right section of the dial. These imperfections are clearly visible in the photographs and have been left untouched to preserve the originality of the watch.
Fitted with a Rolex Oyster bracelet Ref. 78350, suitable for a wrist of approximately 18 cm.
