Info: |
This Rolex has a wonderful perfect gloss black dial with the original hands and original lume. The case has been very nicely re-polished, the rivet Rolex bracelet is dated 1964 but it may well still be the original bracelet for this watch. The movement was very recently professionally serviced by our watch makers. The 5500 is one of the longest-running models in Rolex history. Known for its simple, no-frills design. Everything you need and nothing you don't. Although the movement is a non-chronometer specification, it is equipped with a highly reliable movement Cal.1520. |
