Description |
A Timeless Rolex 5500 Oyster Perpetual Air King. This Handsome Wristwatch is an important piece of history. Rolex co-founder, Hans Wilsdorf - after hearing that WWII British pilots were discarding their standard issue field watches in favor of personally purchasing Oyster Perpetual timepieces - decided to release a series of aviation themed watches intended to honor the brave RAF pilots who flew in the Battle of Britain. Among these was the Air King, which was first released in 1945 with the reference number 4925. In 1957, a new version was released with the reference number 5500 - of which this particular watch belongs. It has all the hallmark traits of a Rolex, without possessing a single superfluous feature. Its minimalist looks all but guarantee that it will never truly go out of style. Crafted from Stainless Steel, it highlights the Classic lines characteristic of the Brand
