Description
We bought this watch from the original owner who barely wore it. This is an uncommon Rolex Oyster Perpetual Air-King Date ref. 5701 two-tone vintage watch dating to 1972. The 34mm stainless steel and 14k gold-bezel-and-crown case looks fabulous. The overall condition of this fine Rolex is absolutely amazing! The owner said his grandfather barely wore this watch and was mainly seen wearing it only on Sundays. The original silver dial and handset is almost pristine. All the lume plots are in place and they even glow. This automatic caliber 1520 Rolex movement was cleaned and is accurate. This is an uncommon variety of Air-King that was sold mainly in Canada and Commonwealth countries only. The date is the feature making this Rolex uncommon, as the regular Air-Kings do not have the date.
