Rolex - 1972 Rolex 5500 Tropical Salmon Dial Air-King
Description: This Air-King 5500 is an excellent daily watch coming in at 34mm. When compared side by side to a 36mm Datejust like the 1600 series it doesn’t feel any smaller once on the wrist. The case is in excellent condition with thick lugs throughout. The star of the show happens to be the silver dial that has aged into a copper salmon color with notes of pink in the tone. This is a result of many variables which may include time, temperature, and manufacturing process.
Dial: Silver dial that has turned Tropical Salmon
Insert: Smooth Bezel
Hands: Original hands
Case: Appears Unpolished
Bracelet: Oyster Rivet 7.5″
