This Rolex Air-King-Date reference 5700 from 1967 is a classic vintage Rolex with timeless design and balanced proportions. The Air-King-Date with date function is among the rarer variations within the Air-King line, and examples fitted with a blue dial are considerably less common than the classic silver-dial versions.
The blue sunburst dial gives the watch an elegant yet sporty appearance. Depending on the light, the dial displays different shades of blue, adding remarkable depth and character. The applied hour markers and simple baton hands create a clean and harmonious aesthetic.
The 35 mm stainless steel Oyster case is in very good condition and wears comfortably on the wrist thanks to its well-balanced proportions. The watch is complemented by its original Rolex Oyster bracelet.
Equipped with a date display and automatic Oyster Perpetual movement, this Air-King-Date is perfectly suited as a classic vintage watch for daily wear.
