STONEBRIDGE WATCHES SAYS...
The Rolex Air-King reference 5500 remains one of the purest expressions of Rolex design, combining understated elegance with renowned reliability in a versatile and highly wearable package. This circa 1986 example is presented in exceptional vintage condition and showcases everything collectors appreciate about the model, from its beautifully balanced proportions to its timeless silver sunburst dial and classic Oyster case.
The clean silver dial displays a wonderful subtle sunburst finish that catches the light beautifully, complemented by applied baton hour markers and the iconic Rolex coronet. Measuring 34mm excluding the crown, the stainless steel case offers the refined proportions that made the Air-King a favourite for generations, wearing comfortably whilst retaining a strong wrist presence. The case remains particularly sharp, while the matching Rolex Oyster bracelet perfectly completes the watch's unmistakably classic aesthetic.
At its heart is the trusted Rolex Calibre 1520 automatic movement, celebrated for its durability, accuracy and ease of maintenance. For complete peace of mind, this watch was fully serviced on 21st May 2024 and is running exactly as it should. The combination of Rolex engineering, proven reliability and timeless styling has ensured the Air-King 5500 remains one of the most sought-after vintage Rolex references.
Adding further desirability, the watch is accompanied by a period-correct vintage Rolex presentation box, an increasingly difficult accessory to source and a wonderful complement to any vintage Rolex. An additional black leather strap fitted with a Rolex-signed buckle will also be included, offering a more formal alternative to the Oyster bracelet and allowing the watch to be enjoyed in a variety of settings.
At Stonebridge Watches, we carefully select only those vintage timepieces that combine authenticity, condition and lasting appeal. Every watch is individually inspected and honestly described, ensuring complete confidence when purchasing. This Rolex Air-King 5500 represents an opportunity to acquire a beautifully preserved and recently serviced example of one of Rolex's most enduring classic references, complete with desirable period accessories and ready to be enjoyed for many years to come..
