ROLEX 5700 AIR-KING DATE – STEEL – VINTAGE 1963 – WITH PAPERS
Rolex vintage Air-King Date 5700 with the original long baton dial. 34mm stainless steel case with a smooth bezel. Rare original long baton arrow head dial with date displayed at the 3 o’clock position. Fitted to the original riveted oyster link bracelet with double folding clasp. Powered by a calibre 1520 automatic movement. The model (5700) was produced alongside the “5500” model which did not have the date feature. During early production years unique and rare dial configurations were manufactured until they were set to standard uniformed baton dials in the 1970s. Many early original dials were replaced by Rolex service centres which is what makes these original arrowhead pieces so rare, Especially with papers!!. Our beautiful original example was supplied new 1963.
