The Rolex reference 5500 was launched in 1957 and would carry various names on the dial but the reference is most often associated with the Air King model. During a small period of time in the 1960s however, Rolex also produced a small number of reference 5500 watches with Explorer dials that were very closely aligned to the classic Explorer Reference 1016. Instead of'Superlative Chronometer Officially Certified' the dials would spell out'Super Precision' or'Precision' below the hands. The timepiece is in beautiful original condition & in excellent working order. Comes in a generic box, accompanied by valuation certificate. (Rolex outer box is for illustration purposes only).
