Pre-owned Rolex Air-King ref 5501 (1986) is a fascinating edition of the iconic Air Series watch. It hails from the 55XX collection, which Rolex produced from around the late 1950s until well into the 1980s. During that time, many iterations came to market, including those in stainless steel, gold, and two-tone, like the Rolex 5501 for sale here. While collectors might be more familiar with the steel-on-steel edition with a smooth bezel from this era, ref. 5501 features a slightly more luxurious aesthetic like the Datejust, including a gold fluted bezel and a 5-piece link Jubilee bracelet. Rolex also produced some models with a date on the dial during this era, but this Rolex keeps it classic with a time-only watch face decorated with gold and Tritium.
