1973 Rolex Air-King-Date ref. 5701
What We Fancy
A gorgeous two-tone Rolex with a classical slate dial and gold accents. What makes these so interesting for 34mm Oyster models is the fluted bezels, something usually only seen on Datejust models. This particular example is in stellar all original condition with a sharp case, clean dial, and tight oyster bracelet.
