ROLEX 5500 AIR-KING – STAINLESS STEEL – 3 6 9 WAFFLE DIAL – VINTAGE 1960

Rolex vintage Air-King 5500 with an original beautiful “3,6,9 Waffle Dial”, 34mm stainless steel case, smooth steel bezel and a rare waffle dial which features a raised gold dagger head hour markers, 3,6, 9 Arabic gold numerals and original sword shaped hands. Fitted with an original riverted oyster link bracelet with double folding clasp which has no stretch whatsoever! 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 original example was manufactured in 1960 with a 571 serial number. This piece is the nicest and certainly the sharpest 5500 we have seen when you consider it left the production line 60 years ago and with the rarest dial configuration there is!
