The Rolex Air-King Ref. 5500 is a highly collectible vintage model produced in 1982, distinguished by its rare and desirable “Winn-Dixie” co-branded dial.
The Air-King 5500 is one of Rolex’s longest-running references, celebrated for its clean proportions and timeless everyday versatility. This example is crafted in stainless steel with a classic 34mm Oyster case and smooth bezel, reflecting the understated elegance that defines the Air-King lineage.
What makes this piece especially significant is the Winn-Dixie retailer-signed dial. Co-branded Rolex dials were produced in limited quantities for select corporate partnerships and retailers, making them considerably rarer than standard production models. The silver dial features applied baton hour markers, with the Winn-Dixie logo positioned above the 6 o’clock marker, remaining well preserved and clearly legible.
Powering the watch is a Rolex automatic movement housed beneath a vintage-correct plexiglass crystal. The watch is fitted with its stainless steel Oyster bracelet and is offered as a full set, including the original box and paperwork.
Vintage co-signed Rolex pieces continue to gain strong collector interest due to their rarity and historical significance. This 1982 Air-King 5500 offers a unique opportunity to acquire a distinctive, investment-worthy vintage Rolex.
