The Rolex Air-King Date Ref. 5700 is a remarkable vintage piece, embodying the distinctive craftsmanship and attention to detail that define Rolex. This example is in exceptional, never polished condition, preserving its original factory finish. The stainless steel case measures 35mm, with sharp, thick lugs and a 42mm lug-to-lug span, offering balanced proportions and a classic wrist presence. One of the most striking features of this watch is its rare blue/grey dial, which remains in flawless condition. The tritium plots and hands are intact, perfectly complementing the dial. What makes this dial especially captivating is its ability to shift color depending on light angles, appearing blue in some views and grey in others—a feature that enhances its unique appeal. The watch is fitted with its original oyster bracelet, stamped ‘71, which features 12 links and shows minimal wear, retaining its full integrity. The case and bracelet numbers are perfectly intact and visible, attesting to the watch’s well-preserved condition. While the service history of the movement is unknown, the watch runs reliably. With a serial number of 2.7 million, this piece dates back to 1971, making it a significant addition for collectors seeking vintage Rolex models with distinctive features and exceptional preservation. **Reference:** 5700 **Size:** 35mm **Year:** 1971 🏞️ [Album](https://imgur.com/a/p1sNHB1) ☑️ [Timestamp](https://imgur.com/a/4aNkh4j) 📜 Includes: Custom [travel pouch](https://bogossia.com/products/travel-carrying-case) ($50+ value) 💵 Price: $4,995 + FREE overnight shipping with FedEx fully insured. 🔥 Followers on [Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/bogossiajewelers) get up to $1,000 off based on items price 🔥 📍 Location: New York 🔒 Authenticity: 100% guaranteed, buy with confidence.
