Now this here’s a Rolex you don’t see every day. Known for solid gold watches like the Day-Date, Rolex released a few gold capped variants decades back. This 1960s Air King 5506 complete with gold plated bracelet gives you all of that gold look at less than the cost of a stainless Datejust. They don’t pop up often - a true conversation starter and a whole vibe! REFERENCE: 5506 YEAR: late 1964/early 1965 DIAL: Completing the gold on gold look is this sweet gold dial. About as clean as vintage comes including the full tritium plots, just a gorgeous example. CASE: 34MM (actually 34.5MM and wears larger due to the oyster case) gold capped case appears unpolished with sharp lines throughout. Has wear of course given the age, most notable on the non-crown side, but still looks fantastic and just great to find untouched, photographed on the 6.6 inch wrist. MOVEMENT: Rolex’s iconic automatic workhorse cal 1520, this is a very early hacking variant that was serviced about 1.5 years ago so running and setting perfectly and keeping great time. BRACELET: Rare to find these on original gold plated bracelet, this one is stamped 72 so a few years newer but period correct reference 7835 with 357 end links. Plating loss throughout of course but mostly on the underside, so all in presents beautifully and fits up to app 6.75 inches. ACCESSORIES: Watch on bracelet only. PRICE: $4850 which will include 2 day fully insured shipping through FedEx anywhere in the US. Face-to-face in the Los Angeles area always possible, with a small discount offered. Payment via Zelle or Bank Wire. No returns unless misrepresented and it absolutely will not be, I am a passionate collector first and foremost and I go out of the way to treat buyers the way I want to be treated and I’m the buyer. Lots of great feedback to show that. TIMESTAMP: https://imgur.com/a/zdDtV8m Follow me here and on IG at thewriteroftime for more cool watches! Thanks! Richard
