Rolex Air-King Gold 1982

The Air-King is one of the last under-the-radar models by Rolex and has all the classic styling one could ask for from the Oyster Perpetual family. This reference made simplicity its asset - in this case, the rare clean gold dial is accented with gold applied indexes for clear legibility and the broad batten handset adds an overall elegant look.
