Rolex Air King 5500 Grey 1963
The Air-King is one of the last under-the-radar models by Rolex and has all the classic styling one could ask for from the Oyster Perpetual family. This reference made simplicity its asset - in this case, the dial is accented with applied indexes for clear legibility and the alpha handset adds an overall elegant look.
This particular piece from 1963 is notable for its gorgeous rarely seen dark grey dial and smooth bezel.
