This is the Rolex Air King Ref.5500.
The Air King has the oldest "pet name" among all Rolex models, and its case diameter is 34mm, a size that is no longer seen in modern models.
This model was born in the late 1950s, but it was a long-selling model that was manufactured until around 1988, undergoing minor changes over time.
The reason it has been such a long-lasting hit is that, despite its simple and timeless design, it is instantly recognizable as a Rolex design, which has made it popular for a long time.
Actually, the design is quite simple.
It has a non-date, smooth bezel, a beautiful white sunray dial, a Rolex logo at the 12 o'clock position, and thick bar indexes at the 3, 6, and 9 o'clock positions.
The strap is a genuine Rolex triple-link bracelet, and the crown mark on the buckle, which was made during this era, is sophisticated, giving it a sense of unity with the case.
Although the design is simple, the appeal of this type of watch is that you will never get tired of it and you can use it for a long time.
It seems like a good choice for a first Rolex, and even Rolex connoisseurs will enjoy this model.
People who wear watches with a simple, no-frills design have a great sense of style.
