**Model**: 5500 **Condition**: Excellent (light scratches) **Year**: 1973 **Scope**: Watch Only **Movement**: Manual **Case Width**: 34.5mm **Strap Length**: 7.50" **Listing ID**: 220001714 **Price**: Offered at $2,150 shipped. Wire, Zelle, or Crypto [Album](https://imgur.com/a/S66Baz7) | [Timestamp](https://imgur.com/gtma8AQ) **Our Take** The Rolex Air-King Ref. 5500, produced from 1957 to 1989, is a timeless 34mm stainless steel timepiece celebrated for its minimalist design and reliable precision. Its clean dial layout and durable Oyster case make it a favorite among collectors, with variations like the rare Domino's Pizza dial adding unique appeal. A cornerstone of vintage Rolex, the 5500 embodies understated elegance and historical significance, making it a sought-after model for enthusiasts. The Rolex Ref. 5500 is in good pre-owned condition, with a recently polished case showing light wear from regular use. Its original blue sunburst dial displays some oxidation, adding vintage character. The crystal has been replaced with a new acrylic one, and the watch is paired with an unworn grey Chevre leather strap featuring a stainless steel buckle.
