Cool, Clean, and Classic
The Rolex Air-King has long flown under the radar, but for those in the know, it’s one of the most quietly confident watches in the Rolex catalogue. Originally introduced in the 1940s as a tribute to RAF pilots of the Battle of Britain, the Air-King became synonymous with straightforward functionality and timeless design.
The reference 14010, produced in the late 1980s through the early 2000s, added a touch of sportiness to the model with its engine-turned bezel—a subtle yet distinct detail that sets it apart from other classic Rolex models. This 1997 example is part of that refined lineage, and it represents tremendous value for collectors seeking a neo-vintage Rolex with enduring style.
Why You’ll Love It
• Features a highly sought-after and vibrant blue dial, giving the watch depth, contrast, and versatility.
• The engine-turned bezel offers a unique design twist not found on other Oyster Perpetuals of the era.
• Housed in a comfortable 34mm Oystersteel case, perfect for daily wear and suitable for all wrist sizes.
• Powered by the reliable automatic Rolex calibre 3000, COSC-certified and built to last.
• Offered as a complete set: original box, papers and booklets.
• Serviced in 2024 and in excellent condition, ready to wear and enjoy immediately.
Iconic Status
The Rolex Air-King is known for being the watch of choice for those who value subtle sophistication. While not as loudly publicised as the Submariner or GMT-Master, the Air-King has quietly appeared on the wrists of tastemakers and professionals alike.
Notable admirers include:
• Ryan Gosling, who’s been spotted wearing vintage and neo-vintage Rolex models in his off-screen life.
• John McCain, the late US senator and war hero, was known to wear an Air-King for decades—fitting for a model rooted in aviation history.
• The model’s understated charm also makes it a favourite among creative professionals and those who appreciate old-school Rolex charm without the flash.
