Produced from 1957 until 1989, it remained largely unchanged throughout its long production run — a testament to just how right Rolex got the formula from the very beginning.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-renderer-start-pos=\"167\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-renderer-start-pos=\"451\"\u003eNo rotating bezel, no complications, no unnecessary details. Just a clean, honest Oyster case paired with timeless proportions and effortless wearability.

It feels slightly more playful and expressive than what we typically associate with Rolex from the period, giving the watch a subtle character all of its own.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-renderer-start-pos=\"671\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-renderer-start-pos=\"916\"\u003eThis particular example remains in really beautiful condition, retaining a strong 34mm Oyster case with an equally crisp smooth bezel and an honest overall appearance that collectors love to see. The matte silver dial is especially attractive, featuring applied Rolex signature text alongside unusual applied Arabic numerals at 3, 6 and 9 — giving the watch a subtle Explorer-like character. Elegant dauphine hands complete the look beautifully and add to the watch’s understated charm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-renderer-start-pos=\"916\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-renderer-start-pos=\"1404\"\u003eFully serviced by our watchmaker, this fine Air-King is fitted with a lovely Bulang \u0026amp; Sons leather strap and is ready to be worn and enjoyed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-renderer-start-pos=\"1404\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-renderer-start-pos=\"1548\"\u003eA beautifully restrained vintage Rolex with subtle Explorer charm, get in touch!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-renderer-start-pos=\"1548\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-renderer-start-pos=\"1632\"\u003e\u003cem data-renderer-mark=\"true\"\u003eSpecifications:\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-renderer-start-pos=\"1632\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"ak-ul\" data-indent-level=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-renderer-start-pos=\"1651\"\u003eRolex Air-King Reference 5500\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-renderer-start-pos=\"1684\"\u003e34mm steel case, smooth bezel\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-renderer-start-pos=\"1717\"\u003eSerial 869xxx dating to 1963\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-renderer-start-pos=\"1749\"\u003eSilver dial with applied Arabic numerals , dauphine hands\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-renderer-start-pos=\"1810\"\u003eBulang and sons leather strap\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-renderer-start-pos=\"1843\"\u003eFully serviced by our watchmaker\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-renderer-start-pos=\"1880\"\u003eOne-year mechanical warranty\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-renderer-start-pos=\"1912\"\u003eFree worldwide Fedex Priority shipping\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Rolex","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54031254552917,"sku":"W-3772","price":4250.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0106\/7450\/3738\/files\/W-3772RolexOysterPerpetualAir-KingsilverArabicnumeralsdialref5500_700_1x1_3bee581b-f371-4d01-bf20-abad75fa234e.jpg?v=1784290211","url":"https:\/\/www.bulangandsons.net\/products\/rolex-oyster-perpetual-air-king-silver-arabic-numerals-dial-ref-5500-w3772","provider":"Bulang and Sons Int.","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
