This is a late 1950's Rolex Air-King Guilloche finish Explorer design. I've dealt with older hand-wound models, but this seems to be one of the earliest automatic designs. It is a highly original piece with a riveted Oyster bracelet in good condition. The belt is 7x5 with a maximum length of 19.5 cm including the body.
