Rolex Air-King 5500’s were made for over 35 years, during the first few years of production many unique and rare dial configurations were manufactured until they were set to standard uniformed dials in the 1970s.  The 5500’s were produced with the 1520 / 1530 calibre movement, our watch is powered by the calibre 1530 movement. Our totally immaculate and original example was manufactured in 1963 with a 971 serial number.
