In the 1930's, Rolex and Sir Malcolm Campbell (a record breaking racecar driver), became united for speed. On September 4th 1935, wearing a Rolex watch, this “king of speed” set a land speed record over 300 miles per hour. Campbell broke the world speed record nine times. Many believed this is the reason the Rolex 'Speedking' was born. Featured here is a vintage Rolex Oyster Speedking circa 1947 with rare dial with pink gold Arabic applied numbers applied by hand! Ref 4220. Stainless steel and unpolished! Recently serviced! On new non-original leather strap with tang buckle. Smooth bezel with bubble top acrylic crystal. Case diameter 28mm. Manual wind movement.
