Rolex Air-King 5500 

By Paul Altieri

The Air-King was introduced in 1945 and was a part of the Rolex "Air" series, which also included the Air-Lion, Air-Grant, and Air-tiger.  Of all of these models, the Air-King is the only model still in production today.  Most famous for being the watch that was given to British Royal Airforce pilots, this incredible watch is built for the air, land, or sea.  The stainless steel vintage Rolex 5500 for sale here features a stainless steel 34mm Oyster case with water resistance up to 330 feet, making it an ideal companion for military pilots.  This reference was introduced in 1958 along with a self-winding movement and was designed specifically for the US, UK, and Commonwealth markets.  Making this vintage watch a rare find and adding to its unique history.

ROLEX AIR KING

Watch arrived overnight and exactly as advertised. Makenzie was terrific and made the purchase seamless. Can't say enough about Bob's quality and customer service.

1963 Rolex Air King

I couldn't be happier with my purchase. While not the least expensive option, Bob's service has been great. And, having had the watch assessed by a certified Rolex dealer in NY, I was assured not only was it in extraordinarily good condition cosmetically, the work done on the internal mechanics was excellent. I would recommend Bob's highly.

An Amazing Experience

Bob’s Watches is truly an amazing company. This was my first Pre-Owned watch purchase and it was an amazing experience. I had a few questions and they were answered immediately and unlike many other online dealers they actually have the watches in inventory. Placed my order at 4pm and it was at my door at 10:30am the next morning on the other side of the country. The pricing and experience are truly exceptional!!

Appears unworn - essentially brand new, but it is 58 years old....
