Year: 1968
The Rolex Air King was created in 1945 during World War Il, in order to satisfy and honor the army pilots.
These watch models were made with 32 and 34-mm watch cases, for pilots to read the time more easily.
This Rolex watch is characterized by its simplicity, elegance, and precision.
The long-produced Rolex Air-King Reference 5500 was released in 1957 to pay homage to the many soldiers of war. It stayed on the market for an unbelievable 37 years.
This specimen comes, incredibly, from the first owner and was bought in Rome, in 1968, and given to an Italian countess for her birthday.
