We’ll start this list with an absolute knockout! Most people will know the 5500 as a famous Air-King reference, and I covered it as one of our affordable Rolex picks two weeks ago. However, perfect replica Rolex produced multiple Air-King and non-Air-King versions of the same watch. Especially popular with collectors are the Explorer-dial versions of the ref. 5500. While most of them come in steel, there are versions in 18K, 14K, and even 9K yellow gold.
The top copy watches you see in these pictures has a 34mm 14K gold case combined with a beautiful silver dial featuring a diamond-like texture. The version in the pictures does not have the Air-King name on the dial, but some others do. I prefer the former, as it helps keep the dial cleaner.
A style that is still relevant today
Although the cheap super clone watches were produced in the 1960s, the Explorer-style dial looks as relevant as ever. Just look at the style of the 3, 6, and 9, which haven’t aged a day. Combined with the remaining classic arrowhead hour markers, it creates a nice aesthetic. Finishing the look is an old-school riveted Oyster bracelet that only adds to the charm. Inside the case, best fake Rolex equipped the ref. 5500 with its caliber 1530, although later models were powered by the follow-up caliber 1520.
This special high quality replica Rolex Oyster Perpetual ref. 5500 in gold with a 3-6-9 dial is something truly special that you won’t see often. Remarkably enough, these full-gold watches aren’t as expensive as you might expect. The watch pictured here is currently for sale for €16,900. Of course, that is a huge amount of money. But put it into the context of the watches’ full-gold construction and rarity, the price isn’t as steep as the actual number might suggest.
