The original Air-King watch was produced in tribute to the Battle of Britain aviators for whom Rolex was the watch of choice. (Whenever in a war film you hear “Righto chaps, synchronise your watches...” you just somehow know they are old Rolexes!) The Air-King range is classic, timeless, and elegant, with the Rolex brand’s signature ‘attention to detail’. A true ‘design classic’.

This 1959 silver-dialled, Air King with dagger/sword hands and tapered batons, comes with its original expanding riveted oyster bracelet in excellent condition. A very elegant, daily wearable investment. Watch only.

All the watches for sale here are from my private collection. Several London dealers can verify their authenticity - and mine.
