Rolex Oyster Perpetual Air-King Precision – Stainless Steel Ref. 5500 | Circa 1970s–1980s | 34mm | Automatic
A beautiful example of a timeless classic, this vintage Air-King Precision is everything we love about understated Rolex design. The crisp silver dial with baton hour markers and stick hands sits in a sharp stainless steel Oyster case, paired with its original matching bracelet.
