Originally introduced in the 1940s to honor RAF pilots, it represents a pure expression of Rolex’s Oyster heritage and time-only simplicity, balanced proportions, and everyday reliability.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn offer is a rare example ref. 5504, circa 1963. What makes this piece interesting is the oversized 36mm case (the vast majority of Air King production was in 34mm). It happens to house a beautifully sparse non-luminous dial with doorstop markets and a blued seconds hand. Overall, this piece has remained in lovely vintage condition. The dial shows some light wear on its outer edges but it thankfully isn't distracting. The case is very nice with thick, evenly shaped lugs and normal sigs of wear consistent with age. It comes on a brand new pig skin strap, paired to a steel Rolex pin buckle. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rolex","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53934392639764,"sku":null,"price":5900.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0733\/8603\/3428\/files\/rolex-oysterperpetual-air-king-5504-36mm-rare-hero-vintage-watches-collectors-corner-ny.jpg?v=1788883955","url":"https:\/\/collectorscornerny.com\/products\/rolex-air-king-5504-36mm-rare","provider":"Collectors Corner NY","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
