1979 Rolex Air King 34mm 5500 Silver Tropical Dial - Tobacco Patina on dial
Available for sale is a 1979 Rolex 34mm Stainless Steel Air King Reference 5500. This Air King has a very interesting silver dial which turns to a tobacco shade as you turn it in the light. When you look at the dial perfectly straight the patina is completely even though when you turning it on your wrist it radiates different stars of a light beige tobacco colour. It really is stunning and challenging to capture with photographs. I do assure you, once you own this Air King it will be difficult to look at anything other than your wrist all day! This Air King is a stunning example of an all original Rolex which has been honestly worn with a bonus of a stunning dial. This example has a serial starting with 6.38M dating the watch to 1979. This watch has been recently serviced, keeps good time and is ready to be worn!
Case: 34 mm stainless steel case showing previous signs of honest wear. Bezel: Original Rolex smooth stainless steel which is showing previous signs of honest wear Dial/Hands: Original silver dial with which has aged to have a radial tobacco patina, simply stunning in person. This is not your average dial, it is difficult to explain without being seen and the good news is that it should continue to patina over time. Hands are as attractive and original. Movement: Rolex 1520 automatic movement, serviced and currently running a perfect +/- 0 seconds per day. Very unusual to see a vintage Rolex running so perfectly. Bracelet/Strap: Aftermarket green canvas band it previous worn condition. I chose not to replace it as it looks good on this piece. Crystal: Original plastic crystal free from any major marks or scuffs Top aspects of why to add this piece to your collection; An ever popular Rolex Air King with an evenly patina'd dial, running perfectly and ready to be worn. Why buy a regular Air King when you can be the only one to own this dial shade of Air King! Price is $2630 USD Firm including worldwide Fedex Shipping __________________ Member of IWJG, CAND and RCNA Instagram: CoinWatchCo eBay: https://www.ebay.com/str/canadiannumismaticrarities |
