The reference 5700 is among the rarer and more collectible Air-King variants, offering larger proportions and a noticeably stronger wrist presence compared to standard Air-King references of the era.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"382\" data-end=\"749\"\u003eThis example dates to 1971 based on the serial number 2762XXX and features a beautiful silver sunburst dial with applied baton markers and the elegant “Air-King-Date” script that gives the watch its distinctly refined vintage character. The acrylic crystal and smooth Oyster bezel preserve the warm mid-century Rolex aesthetic collectors continue to appreciate today.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"751\" data-end=\"1102\"\u003eThe Air-King Date occupies an interesting position within vintage Rolex history, bridging the gap between sporty Oyster Perpetual models and the more refined Datejust line. Its relatively limited production compared to mainstream Datejust references makes it an increasingly attractive option for collectors looking for something slightly less common.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1104\" data-end=\"1124\"\u003eTechnical background\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1126\" data-end=\"1561\"\u003eThe Rolex Air-King line was originally introduced to honor RAF pilots of the Second World War and became one of Rolex’s longest-running model families. The reference 5700 expanded the concept by incorporating a date complication and a larger Oyster case, typically powered by the reliable Rolex Caliber 1520 series automatic movement. These movements are highly regarded for their durability, serviceability, and long-term reliability.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1563\" data-end=\"1573\"\u003eTech sheet\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1575\" data-end=\"1915\"\u003eReference: 5700\u003cbr data-start=\"1590\" data-end=\"1593\"\u003eSerial number: 2762XXX\u003cbr data-start=\"1615\" data-end=\"1618\"\u003eYear: 1971\u003cbr data-start=\"1628\" data-end=\"1631\"\u003eMovement: Rolex automatic movement\u003cbr data-start=\"1665\" data-end=\"1668\"\u003eDial: Silver sunburst dial\u003cbr data-start=\"1694\" data-end=\"1697\"\u003eCase: Stainless steel Oyster case\u003cbr data-start=\"1730\" data-end=\"1733\" data-is-only-node=\"\"\u003eBezel: Smooth stainless steel bezel\u003cbr data-start=\"1768\" data-end=\"1771\"\u003eCrystal: Acrylic crystal\u003cbr data-start=\"1795\" data-end=\"1798\"\u003eCase size: 34mm\u003cbr data-start=\"1813\" data-end=\"1816\"\u003eLug width: 19mm\u003cbr data-start=\"1831\" data-end=\"1834\"\u003eCondition: Vintage condition\u003cbr data-start=\"1862\" data-end=\"1865\"\u003eWarranty: 2-year warranty\u003cbr data-start=\"1890\" data-end=\"1893\"\u003eStrap: Leather strap\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Perpetual Watch Lover (PWL)","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54331041808713,"sku":"1819","price":3250.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0238\/6352\/5456\/files\/DSF0249.jpg?v=1778164727","url":"https:\/\/perpetualwatchlover.com\/products\/rolex-airking-date-reference-5700","provider":"Perpetual Watch Lover (PWL)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
