The Rolex Air-King Ref. 5500 is the definition of understated vintage Rolex. Produced from the late 1950s through the late '80s, the 5500 stayed true to its roots for decades — a simple, no-date Oyster Perpetual with clean lines and rock-solid reliability.
With a 34mm stainless steel case, smooth bezel, and minimalist dial layout, it’s an easy everyday wear and a perfect entry point into vintage Rolex collecting. Powered by a robust automatic movement and built like a tank, the Air-King 5500 proves that less is more.
Whether you're dressing it up or keeping it casual, this classic stands the test of time.
